    Hello,
    My TE250 became very strange after a wash. It went nice before but after washing I had a hard time starting it and when it started it was not stable/lean when running.
    After a day or two I could not start it at all.
    What could have happened during wasing?
    I was careful with high-preassure wash and have changed the gasoline and spark plug.
    When I after a lot of "chirring" got it started it sounded like this:

    After this, a few days after.. it fails to start completley :(
    Any tips highly appreciated

    It sounds similar to having an air- or exhaust leak. But since you washed it it could well be an electrical issue. Make sure to check all connectors by unplugging and cleaning them with a suitable solvent.I would suspect the TPS or Ignition coil connectors. Check the coil primary and secondary circuits with a good multimeter per the repair manual.

    Check your intake parts for cracks/fitment since if it pulls air from there it might hold some water as well from the wash.

    Start with these things.

    Something for sure got wet. It sounds like the intake is restricted and I see steam that appears to be coming from the tailpipe connection area. Possibly water clogging the exhaust. If it is electrical you will need to unplug all the connections and dry them out. Or at least all the connections related to fuel and ignition.

    Hello and thanks for input.
    I finally got time to continue investigating and you where correct, the rubber "hose" between the carb and the intake was not fitted correctly so there was a big gap.
    I just corrected that but now it will not even fire up at all.
    A noob question.. I removed the spark plug and connected it to it's cable and grounded it somewhere on the cylinder head but I cannot see any sparks.
    In my old days playing with 50cc twostrokes with breaker points I did that to test, would I expect a spark doing this on my TE250 - 08?
    Thanks all!

    Hello,
    The bike is now running fine. I measured the coil and it was not as specifications,
    4,9 ohm on primery and 20,5 on secondary so the latter was high but I felt this was not the issue.
    I checked the cables and found that the trigger cables from the rotor to the ECU was broken.
    After temporary fix it now works :)
    Thanks for input!

    Good to know it was just some broken wires. Were they broken near the rotor or under the fuel tank?
