Aye Daisy,
Make sure all your wiring and connections are clean, no cracks in the insulation, an NGK plug cap and the correct plug with the correct gap. All details on the SRX600 website.
From cold, close the choke fully, no throttle, one swing of the kickstart to prime the cylinder, turn on the ignition and repeat swing of kickstart. Should start and sit at ~2grand, ride away and put onto half choke after ~1mile steady up through the gears, open choke fully before ~2 mile. Once warm through, rev it, don't lug in any gear!
If the engines warm, no choke, no throttle, but prime cylinder with one swing then turn ignition on and second swing should start.
Hot engine, no choke, no throttle, just turn ignition on and first swing should start.
Ignition works regardless of battery condition, but valve lifter needs to be adjusted as per the manual, no "Aaw that'll do" or else remove in its entirity as per Andy's mail. Use ACF50 over all up front ignition parts and attach universal mudflap to front mudgaurd to prevent spray being flung over the cylinder head and electrics. Also beware of spark plug corroding in the head and being buried by grit!
Flush the head from the right hand side with plenty of water and an airline before attempting plug removal and use copper grease on the threads when replacing. I had to scrap a whole top end because of the electrolytic corrosion of all the fasteners and the plug into the head casting
Hope you enjoy the beasty and join the Club.
Regards, Bill.
