Default Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.

Hi,
I tried with and without choke. Similar results.

It fast idles very briefly before stopping.

No response to throttle. Maybe cuts out to quickly for throttle twist to take effect.

I think it's an hour or so before it will restart.

I have not tried it with petrol filler cap open.

Where would I get a rebuild kit?

Tanks for the advice,

J

How long do you have to wait before it will restart?

Carb rebuild kits are available for the curvy. Be careful with the carb screws they tend to be quite soft and are JIS headed not Philips although they look similar. Once you get the float bowls off you'll get a better idea if it's a dirt issue.
