Hello all!
I'm a new TRX owner with a starting problem. Whenever it has been sitting for a week or so i have to use the starter for 20-30 seconds before it ignites. If the bike has been running on the day before there is no problem starting it. Seems like the fuel has evaporated from the carbs and it has to fill before it starts.
Is this normal behavior or a leak somewhere?
Thanks!

Re: Starting problem when sitting for a week.
I wouldn't say it's normal, mine can sit for longer than that quite happily.
Does it smell of fuel when parked up?

It's not normal exactly, but you never know with a 20+ year old bike. Changing the fuel pump is a good place to start. There are cheap and working one's on eBay.
