Edit
It is a terrible feeling, existence on the starting line, greenish flag waving, motors screaming, bikes moving, clumps of dirt existence thrown inwards your full general direction, every bit you lot stand, frozen inwards place, furiously kicking a motorbike that refuses to start. It was worse than getting my pants yanked downwards inwards front end of bird inwards the sixth grade.....
Such was my experience at the terminal race. Never again. Previously purchased a build novel carb for the Gas Gas from RB designs, consummate amongst his divider plate in addition to idle circuitry mods. Ron at RB sent the novel Keihin amongst spare jets. There were a few teething issues in addition to inwards our conversations he recommended I acquire upwardly 1 size on the airplane pilot jet. I did non psyche to him, figuring the bike's reluctance to start was but the nature of a big bore ii stroke. I was wrong. Upping the airplane pilot 1 size from 42 to 45 made all the difference. What tin I say, I'm an idiot. Lesson learned kiddies, psyche to those who know to a greater extent than than you lot do.
The other work amongst starting was the worn out aftermarket kickstart lever. It was wobbly in addition to loose in addition to placed your pes at an angle that was extremely conducive to boot slippage. When things got wet, virtually impossible to acquire a enterprise kick. Very frustrating. I wasn't willing to pass $100 on around other aftermarket lever that sucked, in addition to then I constitute a adept used stock lever on the Gas Gas site for less than $50 shipped. What a difference.

The combination of the airplane pilot jet in addition to the kickstart lever turned the 2004 Gas Gas EC300 from a reluctant grunter into a starting fourth dimension boot starter, making life in addition to then much easier in addition to allowing me to salve my unloosen energy for what actually mattered: racing.
