carl ekblom Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Carb has been flooding (I think It should be Dellorto VHST on your bike). Crankcase is full of fuel Check the float and float valve then take the spark plug out and do a large number of kicks to dry the engine. You may also have to clean the spark plug.

dadof2 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Best to push it in low gear to spin engine rather than excess use of kickstart. Make sure you earth the plug well also, otherwise the spark energy will go back into your ignition system and you will have more expensive problems to deal with.

dan williams Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Pushing a bike with the plug out to clear fuel out of the engine is how I ended up with a flaming Bultaco. Very dangerous. Don't trust the kill switch. Disconnect the coil and have an extinguisher near by. Very near. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Seriously with all your issues (which actually is common with Betas) it sounds like you need to find a faithful mechanic. Good luck, as it`s really quite simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
