Update

Finally pulled the carby down, all I could find was one very small drop of water in the bottom of the bowl half the size if a match head, and I could not see through the pilot jet, although I could not detect what the blockage was! All seems well now.

Tried to ride an old yamaha 100 ag bike up an irrigation drain, stalled half way up and used the clutch as a brake going back down backwards (other brakes didn't work), ended up halfway up the other side on my arse when the motor fired up in reverse

Well, it looks like a carby clean out might be in order, here's hoping!

Hello

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing my 25+ year old TS 250 suzuki with a genuine 2100 k's on the clock (yes! genuine ) to sometimes not want to start with the kick starter? It normally is a one kick wonder. Give it a bump start and it almost starts before the clutch is out ...
