SRX600 not starting :'(
« on: November 12, 2008, 03:26:37 PM »
Dear all
My beloved SRX 600 do not want to start :(
She started perfectly this morning, but right now she is reluctant to get started.

Problems being, I am at work in an open space so can't leave her for the night, and I ma due to put her on the ferry on Tuesday

Many thanks

Poor old Juan, Ive an SRX4 that wont start also, but thats maybe due to standing a while, anyway seeing as you seem stuck,I'll offer my amatuerish suggestions and hope that more experienced people will add ideas. Is there a spark? [cap/ coil duff?], is there fuel getting through?, [ try undoing the drain screw on the main,bigger carb] maybe you had the same trouble as I once had,rust in the tank, so turn the tap to prime and take the hose off to check that fuel is flowing, then open the drain screw and let the fuel flush through. Has water got into the kill switch on the handlebar? also,if you bike has one,is the side stand switch broken, or stuck?. check that the choke cable is actually working,beyond that,Im stuck myself, can anyone cleverererer than me add anything?
PS, I hate to say it, but is there fuel in the tank? [reserve??], a charged battery and the kill switch is 'OFF' ?, sorry,I know its obvious but Ive [ ah-hem] broken down before now because the petrol tap thingy needed turning to 'RES'.
Good luck,
Andy.
