Hi
Just got a 84 125 Honda ATC. The thing drives great when it starts and that is the reason for my question. When I get a neutral light on the "dash" I can pull start it and it fires up. Lots of times there is no neutral light and the think wont fire. I am thinking there is some kind of short thats not giving power where it needs to be. Where do I start? It has an old battery thats dead. Does the battery have anything to do with the pull start or can it be completely removed from the bike? I tried to download the online manual for the bike without luck. Maybe someone could guide me there? Also, after rebuilding the carb I notice no difference in idling as I adjust the screw which i belive to be the air mixture. This screw is down lower than the idle screw and a tad bit forward. Anythoughts would be greatly appreciated.
