250-500cc Wont start

Success guys. I slowly turned it over about 3 times and pulled the choke on, no gas and it started 3rd kick. You do have to kick the crap out of it....... I got up on the tank like shrub said and it worked. I hope it's all good now. I rode it a few minutes and it was really snappy on the JD jet kit. Maybe it was just all my fault or maybe it was a combination of me and a little water on the filter that made it to the carb. As long as it keeps running, I don't care. I'm gonna call the dealer and ask for a working usb too. Thanks for all of the help guys.

if it was not getting fuel at 45 then 32.5 is even leaner

Went and started it again. Looks like I may have this starting thing figured out. So glad for all of the help guys.

Good news.Here's a link to the manual someone had posted in the past. Pretty much the same as your '14 http://www.husqvarnafactory.nl/pdf/2011/2011_WSM_WR_250-300.pdf.

Yeah I'm on wr300 #2 and I tell all my buddies who ride it that it takes a big boy kick to start it. Mine starts hard when the temps drop into the 30's and below but when its warm out or the bikes warmed up it's a one kick to start bike. Sounds like you got it figured out though. Good luck with it I love mine!

Ya, I was thinking about putting a sticker near my gas cap stating "Place gonads here to start" but then I thought about it further and realized without a sticker a thief and/or campground buddy will have a hard time stealing a ride on it. I just saved myself an insurance premium for theft.

I would highly recommend against using a kickstand as a starting device

I know...I watched this video and cringed the whole time - lol

i use mine all the time, im 70 kgs an no cracks or bends on the frame tab and the stands straight as it ever was. im a short arse so i need a stand when its cold otherwise its get it to tdc decomp and jump with foot coming down on kicker before instantly slipping off to stop falling over.

LOL just gave me a picture in my mind and had to laugh, laying there wondering what happened

does your bike have a light kit?

Are you referring to my bike or someone else's? Mine does not have any lights.

his reference is to hard starting with the light and most put a switch so they can start it with the light off

Why does light kit matters?

I m 5-7 and my 300 is not easy for me to kick. I balance the bike and jump on pegs with both feet of the ground and kick it. Trick it to put foot down on the ground before falling off

It does take few kicks and I am thinking about Lectron to help things.

My 09 was a bear to start when cold. After it was warm it was a one kick deal, but getting that thing fired for the 1st time of the day was a beast. Being 5'9 doesn't help either!

No idea. When my light is on, it's almost impossible to start. It's a bug in the Ducati ignition.

Here's a good demo on top dead center for the Husky two stroke albeit the WR360 with same kicker.

i was cringing as well...yikes

love the bloke in the vid, hes bigger than i am an he uses the stand too!
i dont see the fuss its not like its going to write the bike off even if the tab rips off!
