I cannot get my 1953 Horex to start, last year it ran just fine and usually started on the first or second kick and although I appreciate the work-out I am getting while kicking it I would strangely enough prefer to get it running
I get a spark, it has fuel in the tank and both fuel cocks are fully open.
But.... There is small "tickle button" on the flotation chamber (Bing carb) that I used to press three or four times and was always rewarded with a small dab of fuel on my finger tip
But this does not happen now, no matter how many times I "tickle it" the small button/my finger tip remains dry as the Sahara desert...Does this indicate that it does not get fuel? Maybe the carb needs a cleaning after the bike has been sitting since last September.... The winter before that it was disassembled and cleaned by a semi-pro mechanic using a ultra sound cleaner so it should not be too bad (driven maybe 500 km's or do since then). But I guess with all these additives they put in our gasoline all shit can happen
Any advice for an amateur like me?
Cheers!
