Hi everyone,

I have been working hard to get my dale that I want to run in motocross ready to try a run. After many many many tries to get it to start it has started and run for about 15 minutes but it kept cutting out. I tried swapping the fuel regulator and fuel pump off another machine and now I can't get it to start. It is trying to fire and disengages the one way bearing on the starter briefly, only to stop and grind the starter.

This morning I checked the fuel out of the injectors and it looks like a very brief puff of fuel is comming out of each one. I do get occasional back firing through the intake and also out of the muffler.

Any thoughts?

God bless...

Mark

When it was running it was like it totally lost power and then came back again. I did find that the ground was lose, so I tightened it before I replace the fuel pump this afternoon.

Start with the basics. Do you have fuel returning to the gas tank? Do you have a good spark plug in it? Is the battery charged? Check to see if the flywheel is still lined up. Are ALL of the wiring harness plugs, plugged in? Kevin
