swooshdave Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 We are assuming everything is clean. Have all the wear-prone parts been replaced? Have all the jets been replaced? Is the slide tight in the body? Fixing the existing carb should be less expensive than replacing it. But many people swear that a Mukuni or the like is much better. They are too complicated for me. But I'm just a simple lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hightown Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hello Scorpa4banger I had the same problem with my 79 Bultaco 250, It turned out to be the jet at the bottom of the choke chamber was blocked once it was cleaned it starts on the second or third kick . Hope this helps Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
