bultobill Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Not sure from your post are you opening the throttle or not when trying to start from cold with choke on? Seem to remember delorto choke isnt effective if the throttle is open at all. Lift choke and kick it with throttle fully closed till it fires should only take one or two kicks.Never had a sherco but had other bikes with delortos on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidtwinshock Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 How are you sure it’s lack of fuel ???? Carb issue. Did you put fuel direct into the cylinder & it started first time confirming it was a fuel issue. Could be ignition prob, reduce / half the plug gap & see if there is an improvement.

Hello problem solved previous owner have put extra quick disconnect valve on fuel line and was not letting fuel thru as pipe was very long 35cm yesterday replaced with 10cm new line and today started first kick Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
