bowellsyboy Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi, I have just switched from a Gas Gas txt 250 99' and bought a 06 rev 3 250. I have found that when i come off the bike and it is on its side for more than 2 seconds, when i pick it up again it takes about 10 min to start, as if it is flooded. Is this common and something i have to put up with or is it just a prob with the floats in the carb that can be adjusted. Really annoying as im only a beginner and do come off alot!! Any help will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilertrialler Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 carbs are a problem on the rev 3 , look back on the beta pages there have been lots of comments, I have a 06 beta I have done all the mods you need to get the tangs set spot on, but mine still will not start whens its facing down hill, so make sure you are level or facing up hill when you start it, it makes a difference.

I'm sure heath will eventually get a burst of shots when Barry has perfected the technique. from the pictorial evidence here click um linky the foot off first method of dismounting might just give him enough time to get his hand down to turn petrol off before the bike tries to take more of his digits away ps I take it the paw is all healed up by now Barry Edited November 27, 2007 by Slapshot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else it should produce a good shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 .... and if you do you know i will say "nah, missed it... do it again" Even when i get a perfect shot i say that as you try that bit harder and generally land in a bigger heap or hit something with more force After nearly two years you would of thought I wouldn't fall for that so often would you!

warby beta Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I have had my 05 250 nearly from new and never ever played with carb settings, i have fallen off more times than the proverbial s***ty stick can be poked at and it always starts, downhill, uphill. It has done many run around trials and the manx 2 day without missing a beat. Granted it has had a stator but that was a problem with them. Hey maybe im lucky but am looking forward to my new 08 270. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
