hey guys. wondering if i can get some help here on where to start looking 1st.
im still having issues with the dirt bike, potentially carby related. still won't start...and when it does it just dies pretty quickly.
i had the carby cleaned twice, cleaned all the jets, put a full tank of fuel in the bike and still having problems.
when i use the electric starter, as the bike is starting, there is a slight hissing/whistling sound coming from the airbox/intake every now and then, mainly while the choke is on...wondering what would that be caused by?
the bikes had a full rebuild done. timing is spot on. new spark plug, checked for spark - all is fine and still has strong spark, checked all my electrical connections, air filter is clean and has brand new stater motor and stator in it.
not sure what else i can possibly check or what would be causing the hissing/whistling sound?
bike is a KTM 450 EXC 2004 model for those that don't know.
