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

Hi,
I've started it with and without choke - no real difference.
It does fast idle briefly before stopping.
I can restart it after an hour or so.
I have not tried to restart it with the petrol filler cap open.

Just googled some carb rebuild kits - thanks.

Once it's started does it respond to throttle?
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.
