I'm guessin my head gaskets gone, all the waters gone out of rad bottle and the bike starts for about a second then the spark plugs flooded, clean the spark plug again and it will do the same and it has water or something on the plug again. Luckily I haven't heat siezed it so i'm hoping the barrell and pistons alright still, was just wondering if its most probably head gasket? And I just wanna know if doing it myself is a hard task cos garage want £120 to do it.
wip off your exhuast. if its full of water. bam head gasket is gone. just replaced mine. got my engine out asap. drained all the water off left it in my kitchen with the crank case full of 2t and turn it a few hndred times. left it for a good 36 hours. and ordered a new gasket set for my 70. and mine works now although if theres any rust anything on the bearing/crank id replace it. or just replace the crank n bearing just for measures.
Electric start has packed up aswell, i'll take exhaust off tomorrow, in a way im hoping barrel will be scored to give me a reason to get a 70s :rofl: i'll just take head off tomorrow, surely it cant be that hard, 3 hoses and 4 bolts? :wtf: EDIT: just took exhaust off while still got a bit of daylight and yeah it had quite a bit of water in it head gasket gone, again.. lol.
garage done it back in july last year along with a new bore and water pump, done it now, works a treat.
