Idleing.

Right, before i start pulling the bike to peices i wanna know what im looking for, to avoid wasting time.

my bike doesent even make the slightest attempt to idle on its own?, even with the tickover screwed right the way in?

it started happening when i put oil in with the petrol to make sure the 70 kit had enougb oil, and it was oil fouling for ages, that has cleared up now, but i still have this problem, :rtfm:


it makes it hard to warm the bike up in the mornings, and its annoying at traffic lights as i have to keep blipping the throttle to keep it alive

any ideas?

oh it also has a hard time starting? like 30 seconds on the electric start agitating the throttle and 3-4 kicks on the kick start at full throttle

 

shouldnt need to use throttle to start it when the choke is on.

choke work ?
cleaned carb out ?

 

well i was going to start with cleaning the carb , jsut wanted to make sure it couldnt be anything else before i start...

and yeah never had a problem with the choke, it all worked fine til it was oil fouling

 

i would check choke. might just be coincidence that its died when you used premix.

 

but if it was the choke, wouldnt that mean it would idle fine when its warm?, it doesent idle fine, ever, i can go on a 50 mile drive and it wont even attempt to turn over once as soon as i come off the throttle

 

ok. the idle speed being turned right down ?

take filter off and have a look where slide is should be a few mm from bottom with no throttle applied at all.

 

its like a third or just less up. as the idle screw is in full :nerd:


i was thinking reeds mabye?

 

could be just get out and have a look you lazy cunt

 

i would but i lent my torx screw set to a mate about 4 months ago and aint seen em since

 

I had the same problem with my wife's RS125, and as you said it was the reeds!

Also did it a little bit because the idle needle screw had worn a groove in the slide where it pushes, and was just sliding into the grove and not lifting the slide.

Check both and go from there!

 

wicked mate ill get this blokes case tomoro to get my tools back
:nerd:

 

not suprised u aint got your torx screws back if you got his case.

 

meant to say ill get oon the case lol


if ya get me?

 

wont the case break if you get on it? :w00t:

 

i had the same problem with my typhoon 172 if is a typhoon u need the black case that goes over the bore otherwise it will heat sized

 

crank seals.

 

Reeds, that'll be why mine stalls like a cunt.
Thankoo!

 

Bastard!
