Try it with the gas cap off the bike. If the tank is not venting, it will not get fuel.

Our club started around 1970. I started in 1972. We started with novice, semi expert and expert. We now run 5 classes in the a.m. and 5 classesin the pm. We have one of the most popular clubs, even though our state has a small population. Our biggest draw is we all camp. Most of our events are 2 day events. Even a one day event draws people to camp 2 nights. We have done the 10 classes for about 3 decades. This club will never conform to most anything else. Our Semi class has been renamed multiple times and it some how reverts back to semi expert. It was originally a class that rode the hard line, but it was up and coming experts. Now its full of old champs, masters and experts. They have tried to cut in half with a sr title. Wont work. We call it the shark tank. Average 15 plus riders. 10 of them could win on any given day. Clubs are spread over hundreds of miles and clubs that have been around forever will never change. That idea comes from a politition mind set. It will never happen. We are free men that run it like we do for our own fun. You can to that on a race track, but my 4 year old grandson can ride that easy ****!

Simple way is first make sure the magnet kill button is attached. Second remove gas line from petcock, turn valve to see if fuel flows. See above post on checking spark.Use choke, lever pulled up. If it still does not start. Turn fuel valve on. Lay the bike on its side. Handle on the ground for five full seconds. The carb should have leaked a little fuel on the ground. It should start in a couple of kicks.

The TL250 was prone to over heating. Are you running the stock carb? You might go up a size or two on the pilot.

That is not a tire for a trials motorcycle.

Dan, your answer is in this thread. Last page if you are in a hurry. https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/new-dunlop-trials-tire-for-2023.1601789/

We have run them without, and no problems. That rubbing can be the fingers are adjusted to high.

The bolt has to be hollow as oil flows through.

Was it put back correctly. It only goes together one way. The finger tower has a notch in it and the pressure plate has an aligning mark.

Wd 40 will totally destroy your pads.

Yes, on both questions.

The bite point should be farther out. The lever should never touch your other fingers. You never mentioned what your riding?

I too enjoy using wd40. But I always cover my brakes. Funny how the cause of bike issues always slowly comes out in these threads.

No, the whole thing rides to low to the ground.
