Hello, most of the time my bike starts fine, but about 1 time in every 20 it turns over and wont catch, when i push start it it goes straight away and is ok again for about another 20 starts then does it again.. it runs perfectly this is the only problem i have. just a bit annoying sometimes.
i put in new plugs, battery is good, balanced and cleaned carbs.
any ideas?

Re: nc29 starting problem
Almost certainly electrical, I would wait until winter then go over every electrical connection on the bike and clean and reseat...you will be surprised just how crappy some of then are.

Re: nc29 starting problem
Sounds to me like your starter motor is on the way out. Considering it is proably 20 years old it has had a good run. I've had one fail on me after many starts during the day at race meetings and it did exactly this.pktpaul wrote:Hello, most of the time my bike starts fine, but about 1 time in every 20 it turns over and wont catch, when i push start it it goes straight away and is ok again for about another 20 starts then does it again.. it runs perfectly this is the only problem i have. just a bit annoying sometimes.
