    Carb problem with 350X ??

    I had my 86 350X motor rebuilt (professionaly) and got it put back into the bike and I cannot get it to start. I am getting fuel to the carb and I have got spark. When I kick start it, it will putt putt putt but not start. I have taken the carb all the way apart and checked to see if there are any missing components and checked all settings as the manual stated. I did notice that when I am kicking over the motor I notice some fuel spills out the overflow tube on the carb. When I pull the plug it seems to have a small amount of gas on it. When I bought this bike from the previous owner he said it always started hard. When I unscrew the float bowl drain screw I get lots of fuel to drain out. This thing has got be licked, what do you guys think I should try? I have been looking around for a whole diffrent carb. When I check for spark it was fairly bright. I kickstart it a couple times without the choke on or any throttle then I try half choke then onto full choke it only trys to start either full off or full on but not between. All the parts looked good as far as the human eye can see.
    Thanks All !

    Steve, by pull starting it he means to have someone else tow him around with there ATC and hell pop it into gear and see if she'll fire. I think your float might be sticking. Sounds like your getting too much fuel. I have a 400ex carb on my 350x. Its sweet i put a 138 main jet and its excellent, that is my only mod on the whole atc.

    when i first got my 185s i had to "pop" start it by putting it on a hill, and let it roll, and release the clutch.it should work on a 350X (i hope)

    when i picked up my precious(200x) we had to pull start it with the lawn mower. it hadnt been started for like a year when i got it. dont wear yourself out kicking it.

    Make sure you get it in 3rd gear or so when you push/roll start it. If rolling down a hill, the 350X has too much compression to start in 1st gear easily. 3rd works much better.
