nigel dabster Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I wonder if Big John has a collection of used Monty plugs the size of Dabsters? I think it reads both ways Mark, but to clarify only one plug change on the mont so far this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 We have two NGK CR6EH-9 plugs here that 'expired' from two different Montesa 4RT's. Big John (not quite a collection!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just going off Dabsters response to another thread. "once every 6 rides or so on a gasser more on the mont 4t " All I know is that I bought one just trying to take a demo ride from my dealer. Seems if you wick them when too cold they just flame out? Has anyone tried cleaning them with a blaster, or are they done? This has baffled me a bit, as they are not cheap plugs! And on last ck, not found at the auto store!

bobtlr Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 the plugs of the 4 rt are ok you just have to wait when cold started until the fan kicks in (in wintertime it can take a while) how long do you people ride (riding sections not off road racing ) on a full tank of fuel on the sherco 3.2 mine was almost empty in a good 60min, is this normal? regards bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregrsv Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Cheers for all the responses, i havent been online a great deal lately as ive been offshore , Sherco is still a pig to start when hot , What is the issue with all these four strokes being fitted with hot start kits and things like that , is it just an air vent to weaken on startup or something. I dont have this fitted on the sherco is it something i can retro fit? My old enfield crusader starts no bother when its hot even when stalled in sections or after a fall, i think ill throw an old Amal carb on the sherco and see how it goes!! cheers GREG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Greg, To be honest with you, you are on untreaded ground with this Bliss modded thing with the OKO. I do seem to recall a hot start air bypass valve available in the Sherco mod kit for the '05's but a bit unsure. Similar to the Beta's I thonk! The current hot setup seems to be the SPS carb from the factory. That is all I can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Gday, you dont need a hot start kit. You can do the same thing by holding the throttle open just a crack (when its hot of course...). All those things do is allow a little extra fresh air into the manifold to lean the mixture slightly. The throttle does the same job, lets in a little extra air and leans it out slightly. This is most needed when the bike has sat for a minute or two, like when you are waiting to go into a section with the engine off. HTH, Cheers, Stork.

gregrsv Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Cheers guys I wondered if the hotstart was a "fresh air induction thingy" , and as youve said holding the throttle steady open will have the same effect , i have experimented trying it with different throttle openings , all sorts , next thing i'll try is a coil off one of my mate bikes to see if this gives an improvement . Because i think ive exhausted all fuel adustments that i can think of . cheers greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Have a look at the plug - it is the window into the engine. Check a website such as NGK etc. and they will have a plug reading guide there - compare to yours and see what you have. If there is a carb fault you will find it this way. HTH, Cheers, Stork.

hop blip and a jump Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I cant believe people are still having hot start issues on the newer 3.2 shercos!!!! my 08 scorpa 250f has never given me any trouble starting hot or cold, i think its got the dellorto with the accelerator pump!!! the only trouble i've had is with a bit of clutch drag, but that was sorted by using a different engine oil!! hope you get sorted..
