Hey all, i've had this issue on a DVX 400 for about 2 months now. I can bump start it and it runs like a top!

As soon as it dies, i go to turn the starter over and it just turns over and turns over and won't fire at all. It bumps starts real easy but if the motor shuts off i have to bump it again.

I've replaced the fuel tank, fuel petcock, i've adjusted my float level (thought it was flooding).

The battery is good and it sounds like it's turning over fast enough to start the motor.

Any ideas? I"m at a loss and it's very frustrating because i can't go riding unless i have somebody else around to pull start me, haha.

Could it be the valves? Like i said it seems to run perfect once i push start it, but it won't start for anything when i try to use the starter.

thanks in advance.

Classic sign of valves.
