Peugeot Speedfight 2 Problem

I’ve had my moped MOTED yesterday and it passed. I forgot and put some oil in the bike and overfilled it and started leaking.

My bike now does not idle and will only run (When I mean run is bogging on full throttle the bike won’t move faster then me walking) if I try start it with full throttle. Does anyone know the problem with the bike because it was running amazing before I put more oil on it.

 

where abouts did you put the oil ? in the autolube tank ?

 

Yeah I put it on the oil tank

 

Hmmm... Try a new plug first..

 

What a new spark plug? But the bike starts but can’t idle

 

If it was a spark plug it wouldn’t start would it?

 

It could be breaking down under load...

 

This is what my spark plug is looking like

 

The plug is looking very deposited up and black.

Theres a few scenarios that will cause this, too much oil... or too much fuel (running rich) or it could be that the engine has been started up and shut down without reaching operating temp, and not been ridden.

I would stick a new plug in... or at least try and clean that one up a bit until you can get a new plug.

 

There is a lot of oil, after I had it MOTED I overfilled it with oil and now I can’t find the valve to take the oil out.

 

Firstly replace the plug...

The autolube tank is just a vessel for storing oil, If you over fill it, it wont have any effect on the amount of oil delivered to your engine.

That is taken care of by the autolube pump and pipe work into the engine. The pump will still meter the same amount of oil to the engine whether the tank is nearly empty or full.

I think your problem lies elsewhere, and the fact it happened just after you filled the tank up is a coincidence.

you did put 2 stroke oil in the tank didnt you ?

 

You mean did I put 2 stroke oil into my petrol tank? No I put it on the left side which had the oil logo. I put Unleaded on my Petrol Tank for my Peugeot Speedfight.

do you think it can be a spark plug problem?

 

yes that plug needs changing it is heavily fouled.

 

Okay I’ll get a new spark plug
