@joshbannon8989 3 года назад

Joe. Google the starting procedure. You have to use the decompression release to get it to the compression stroke. Then release the compression lever. Then kick it all the way through. 120psi it should run. If you can get it to start compression will come up too. Try a new plug as well. If you use the correct starting procedure it won’t wear you out starting that big bore bike. If it doesn’t start on the first or second kick somethings not right. Valve seats. Pipe needs to be on for back pressure. Air box lid on. Good luck.

@kermit8619 3 года назад

Easy start : Turn the engine until you feel the compresion . Pull the decompressor lever and slowly turn the engine until you see the little metallic tab trough the little window on the right side of the cylinder head . Release the decompressor and kick it hard with the choke on . I learned to ride motorcycle on those things 😁

You got it right Kermit. I had the XR version and it was the same process... Never had to worry about anyone stealing it though.

@willyhillstrom7816 3 года назад

That's its spirit animal, fire breathing dragon. 27hp and 666ft lbs of torque. When you crash it sets its self on fire. Maybe it tricks you into going high side, and throws you over the saddle. Maybe you run over your own foot, takes your shoe off and tares a hole in your sock. You have to throw some dirt on it to put the fire out. That's just the way it works. Better be quick.

@slickricktheruler 3 года назад

Look up starting procedure for xt500. You have to use the decompression lever and line up the timing mark through the little sight glass on top cam cover. Clean it off with a tooth pick or qtip. I had the exact bike in the 80’s. Repeat it’s not the timing you just have to get the procedure correct. Hope this helps.

I dreamed of owning an xt 500 as a young man , finally got one in 1985 , never have I had so much fun riding a trials motorcycle on and off road , (I am from south wales in the uk , )I rebuilt the motor , ported , polished and applied know-how to the build torque and rideability was amazing for next to no cost . I still regret selling mine , brilliant , versitile bike , I envy you . Still miss the huge grin I got every time I rode mine .👍😎 mine always started first kick once dialled in , you will get the knack.

@bigospig 3 года назад

I have a 1985 XT600 and had to learn the ONLY way to start it is getting the piston at TDC before kicking it. Also, when it is cold the choke has to be FULLY engaged, not 80%, not 99%, but 100% CHOKE. Of course, the 500 and 600 have different carbs, but that is what mine needs to start. BTW, I think 100 pounds of compression is fine.

Always was cold blooded even after a full rebuild. But once it as going was an awesome machine. I ended up selling as it was two tall and heavy for me.

@markbrown-us4xe 3 года назад

It cost $1440. out the door in 1978. Plenty of fun and mine was once towed from where I was working midnight shift. The guard's didn't like the fact that I would use the outer edge of a mile long parking lot to practice wheeling and the head light told on me. One morning I went to report it stolen and they laughed and said it was towed. Had to hitch a ride to the tow shop and wait for it to open. $50 and a long delay for my hour ride home. I learned something that day. BTW a 38 mukini will wake it up. Really nice find!!!

Good luck man! I hate when they sound like their about to start and gives you hope, but doesn't start no matter how much you try. I'm working on a 1976 CB550F that was left outside for over 15 years and was parked because it wasn't running before that. It's been a struggle, but she's running and idles! I haven't got to the higher RPMs since it's not "Street legal" right now. I subbed. Hopefully you get her to run!

@robindonders804 3 года назад

I own a sr500(street version of the xt500)and it’s a pain in *** to start. You have to get it just right. Kick until you feel you are on the compression stroke and your kick pedal is basically stuck. Then use the decompression lever and kick it 2 inches further. Let off the decompression lever and let the kick pedal come all the way up again. Then kick with everything you got. No throttle and full choke. I never use the looking glass, its more accurate if you do it by feel. I think your carb is from an sr500 btw, they have an accelerator pump. The carb has multiple diaphragms that are very fragile and sitting for so long I would be surprised if they are still able to hold a vacuum. So that’s the next thing I would check. Good luck. If you get it running, it’s a blast.

@Gruxxan 3 года назад

check the oil level when oil is hot. when its cold all the oil is in the sump especially after standing a long time

@gtisid 3 года назад

the luck you have is astounding !! my first encounter with a motorcycle was on the back of one of these as a 13 year old, they are leg breakers with the compression and a proper wheelie machine

@dano8389 3 года назад

The thingy on the carb you were looking at as a "primer" is an accelerator pump or booster pump. You may want to look into that. If its clogged it's not getting the boost of fuel.

@preez77 3 года назад

I got curious and looked it up, that carb has 2 separate accelerator pumps and an enrichment pump! Pretty complex for a 500cc thumper

@dano8389 3 года назад

@@preez77 my guess is one or 2 flicks of the throttle should prime it enough to fire over. To much throttle could flood it quick. I had the same issues with a boat that had a 2 barrel. Accelerator pump was a pain.

@koos690 2 месяца назад

Timmingis quite easy on cam and chain. You have that small glas cap that show you TDC without to remove the valve covers. Right side there is a plastic cover that looks like a huge bolt that is you timing chain tensioner. Timing on chain to valves an be slightly adjusted there to get perfect TDC. Then you check your spark on the points distributer rotor..then check spark on plug. Try again start and please put your tank on connected with the fuel that gives gravity feed to your carb and suction ballance your air fuel mix can be even for proper combustion on spark. No short cuts with XT500. Build 12 of them in my life.

@felixftacnik5873 3 года назад

Hello; Firstly this is a Monocylinder , if your kick starter is not in a VERTICAL POSITION AT THE TOP ", you will never get 2 rotations of the engine after having pass the " top head center" ; and the spark plug will never fire. Please, pass the "top head center " with the decompressor , (use the help of a top dead centre indicator if you like ), MOVE BACK UP YOUR KICK STARTER ,put the choke on , don't touch the accelerator ( never when the engine is cold ) that will make the gas poorer .....(that undo the fonction of the choke ) Secondly ; Be carefull with the kick starter, hundred and hundred kick like that, could damage a small piece inside . I have a SR 500 ( 1978 ) at home , it the same engine , if you do correctly the procedure you will be able to fire up at the first kick ( in cold or warm condition ) Good luck . Greeting from France. Félix

@MichaelandCathy1999 Год назад

I had and drove an ‘81 Honda XL 500 single , a true tank of an off road rocket. A solid ride for Fireroads and Medium Rock trails. BUT it was a beast to start when it was morning cold, it too had a decompression lever, thank God! But if you follow the manual or try asking other big bore riders, THEY’LL know what to do. Just watch for kickbacks, it’ll put a thorn in your day. Good luck and happy berming. 👍🇨🇦

@ironlungs1626 Год назад

My father has just finished restoring one of these. The exhaust that you have is the original and is very very expensive. Also, with a tank in that condition... you are one very lucky man. These beasts when tuned right are absolute tractors. I would recommend taking the original exhaust off to keep it safe and put a "hotdog" straight through pipe on the back. Makes it sound like claps of thunder

@quentinblanchard3022 3 года назад

@g3ges3 Год назад

@gordonwbell 3 года назад

sweet project. keep up the good work. Even though you ultra sonic cleaned the carb, did you confirm that all the passages were clear by blowing air or carb cleaner through them? did you remove the accelerator pump and clean those passages? the passages in the float bowl as well? if you're going to use carb cleaner make sure its stripped of all the rubber bits otherwise, they may get ruined. I've ran into this problem a few times - I always ensured if there is a passage that its clean, including mixture screw, etc. If it has spark, fuel, compression and air, it should fire, but that being said, without the filter, it might be too lean as well. Like some of the comments said, it could be the shear key - but unless someone has been in there before, I doubt that it would be sheared. they usually shear if someone doesn't re-install the flywheel correctly - super clean crank (no oil on the taper) and proper nut torque.

@garyb681 3 года назад

Always clear the airbox before checking for spark.

They have a key on the flywheel and the shear off when they’ve been sat , I’ve owned 2 of theese and funny enough both had the same issue, Plus you don’t just keep kicking them prime the fuel throttle closed with the prime pump on the carb stroke it a few times decom in then kick it with decom out it might help ,also get some oil in the chamber and let it sit a while if your getting different pressure readings the rings will be stuck good luck I’m waiting for the next video patiently 👍🏻

Those bikes were a bear to start even when they were new.its all in the starting procedure and how you kick it.thats an accelerator pump on that carb.assuming the diaphragm is good,every time you twist the throttle,it squirts gas directly into the throat of the carb.so keep that in mind every time you twist it,easy to flood is what I'm getting at.

kick it with the kick indicator on the right side of the bike, roll it over until you are at the end of the white mark on the cam. also make sure keep a fresh spark plug with you, I have a tt500 and it tends to fowl them. these are ripping little bikes, they put out almost as much torque as modern 450 does. it should start first kick using the kick indicator
