problems yet again

hi guys
not been on here for a while ,been busy with my bike at last
anyway our lads runner 125 vx 2005 4 stroke ........................................................
he got home today moaning it was getting slower and slower ,and smoking like a good un
so i went out for a quick look and there was thick black engine oil dripping out the airbox.
tore it apart and the oil is coming up from the motor and through the carb [ that,ll explain the bellowing smoke then ],took the rocker cover off and checked the rockers,and valve clearances nowt amiss there
so is it saying piston rings to you guys too ? or more deeper?

i reckon its time to scrap the bag of shite

any help guys would be very much appreciated
thanks nel

 

I'm afraid that's the place i would look too.

 

thanks tv
just put it all back together ,minus the panels
new plug,air box cleaned out,and its turning over really fast,but wont fire up
== no compression me thinks

 

Rings maybe a holed piston if it's all very drastic.

 

god how i hate scooters , too much plastic to remove everytime you need to do summut

all back together now , gave it another couple of tries and no good AND theres oil coming out the airbox again

anybody fancy a [ non running ] project ???

 

i hate piaggios with a passion! i would galdly set it on fire for you!

 

1 word. ovetto. Some mods to the bucket under the seat and there are 4 little screws on the underbelly between you and total engine access.

 

or my tomos, the engine is right there, no panels or anything! i do like working on neos's/noesess/neii? MBK got it right with them

 

its going on gumtree at 1pm today first £200 gets it

 

can't win 'em all. A nice water cooled mach G (it´s basically a water cooled neos) or a piaggio typhoon would be the ticket. a 125 two stroke typhoon would see off anything 4 stroke and be a doddle to work on too.

 

yeah
thats the thing 4 strokes are supposed to be more reliable ,but a pain with chains and valves etc when they do go wrong
2 strokes blow up but far easier to work on

 

yippeeeeeee
vx now gone
£280 towards this

 

sorry my bad
i meant to say
280 towards one of these
i bought a stolen recovered ccm r30 644
2002 ,usual bits missing,lights,clocks,etc
but a cracking mint engine and mechanics
had a quick blast on it and it rides spot on

just waiting for parts
but when its sorted il post some pics

 

well
he,ll never learn
i think hes saving up for another ped
