New Ttr owner......ok she's not new but I am to owning one!
Permalink  
 

Evening all, just got myself a not so shiny ttr. She's a bit rough around the edges but worse still she won't fire up! 

So the plan is the get her fixed up and get her dirty!(could do with a bit of help though.)  

Previous owner aid he has had it off a mate who stripped it down but thinks it's not been put back together correctly. I have no idea where to start though. 

Any hints aNd tips welcome and hopefully  you guys for a ttr ride out when she's running

He wasn't specific but I would imagine engine buy the sounds of it. The chap I got the bike off thought I might be something simplethat's not been put back togther correctly. Problem is I'm a noob at engines so im starting a fresh  getting her running

wireing is all good

Maybe the valve clearances ain't been set right. Check the compression too.

I'm guessing the Carb has been kept clean. Just stick some questions up in the repairs section if you have trouble.

He might well know of it being it is a Devon bike, I'm sure he will be along soon to say welcome.

The TTR isn't one of mine - sorry cry

There is a good article here to help you through why the TTR isn't starting biggrin
