I was given a 2000 Yamaha RSX 700 - it's got 8k miles, but my buddy had me ride it, man it was fast, he started it with like 3 pulls. Anyway now I have it home, I got it out couldn't get it started. I am hoping someone on here can give me some suggestions. I probably should have listen better to my buddy when he showed me how to work it.
Anyway, you put the key in the ignition (I noticed there is a start, after warmer, which only toggles, it doesn't stay (does/can you get electric start for this machine?). Anyway I move it to on, put the choke down one, then down another, I pulled it a few times, didn't sound like it was doing anything. I did give it a litte throtte and pulled a couple times, almost sounded like it would start. Anyway I've seen him start it up just like that, I must be missing something. Did I flood it? Could I have flooded it in transport. I've got a couple ATVs and basically we have a switch for the gas (off, on, reserve) and usually it's good to turn it off while transporting it.
Any help please, I am hoping to ride around the field tonight, since we've got some snow. thanks to all who answer me soon,
Chuck Durham
