Runner 125 vx starting troubles

This runner:

Has been sitting for 3 years now undercover. We are now attempting to start it. We have not got the exhaust connected by I remember I used to start my old 180 without the exhaust on, will I need it as it's a fourstroke???

It sparks (sparkplug is 3 years old - shall I get a new one?) Everything is connected up right but it doesn't want to budge. We have tried with and without throttle.

Any suggestions on what to do next? Not sure if the exhaust will need to be connected. How many wires need to be earthed which I may of missed?

Thanks

 

i would put the exhaust on tbh,

change the plug.

fresh fuel.

clean air filter.

what i would do

 

X2 And when you put the sparky back on i would put some petty on, which you probably already know lol.

Also i have a very best friend i would like to introduce to you,

His name is .......

Mr EASY START

He is very handy and im sure will help you in this situation, You can buy them from anywhere really halfords, and car parts place etc.

 

Yeah when I'm down there next I'll put the exhaust on, it has all new fluids and filters. Only other thing then is the plug.

Good shout on your friend mehmet, is he free Monday?

Thanks for the quick replies

 

Easy start ftw

 

Yeah mate he said he will be waiting for you at halfords or somewhere where you can buy him .

But yeah i think it will start straight away with easy start.

 

Hehe he's been in my shed for years. I'll give it a go. My dad said it could be that the jets may be blocked or there is no fuel getting to the spark.

Don't really want to rip the carb off, have you seen a vx one :wtf:

 

yeh :rofl:

 

Size of my fucking fist and complicated as much as when my headphones get tangled up lol but yeah i recon easy start would do the trick.

Just to be sure i recon buy a new sparky aswell.

 

Easy start will do it m8

ive got no operational choke on my scoot...

butchered it to stay off, long story short: 20.5mm dell off a 180 runner when fitted to a 70cc, the eleccy choke works on a different electrical voltage

anyway no choke.. icy winters night .. ice on the saddle and no choke.....blast of easy start in the air box and starts on 3rd kick

 

Dont forget to clean or replace the fuel filter -these dry up and sometimes you need to manually suck the fuel to see if its getting through.

Dont kill your battery trying to start it up by the way!

Good luck.

 

Lol so you know what I mean about the carb then :rofl:

Mehmet you make me laugh, yeah I'll get a plug too only a couple quid.

I'll take your word on in Dave, take the cover off and spray the foam or behind the foam??

Concept, already been done mate, replaced, looks like the fuel is moving about as it should. Using a powerpack to try and start it, bought a brand new battery last year but didn't charge it and now it's no good, gota get another one :emb:

Oooooh I can't wait to start it with the one off exhaust going on soon!

 

Nah mate take the cover off and the foam off and then spray in.

Dont be affraid if it starts to turn over much faster as it probably will. Thats the whole point of the easy start.

Let us know what happens im getting excited aswell altho its not even my project LOL.

 

1. Haven't tried, Dad said it would be no good either.

2. All new fluids in the bike ...got both, but I still don't think it's that that is stopping it starting.

3. Adjust the valve timings :wtf: .......may have to whip the carb off but don't really want to, but if it comes to it I will. Everything is leading to the carb tbh.

Thanks :beer: [/b]

 

Ive got a simular problem with a vx125 its been sat in a back of a van for 3 years and was stolen from new, its only done 920 Miles and its on a 2003 Plate, Anyways the problem ive got is that the bike will turnover on the electric start (took the barrell out and moved it around, so its always on) but wont fire if you spray easy start into the carb it will fire once but thats it, it jus keeps whiring almost like theres no fuel,
The bike is not nicked its a stolen recorved btw so ive got no keys, there is a redflashing light on, is there a immoberliser on the bike?

i will try the fuel filter like this thread suggests.

P.S sorry for interuppting your thread Jefr0

Thanks

Daz

 

Turns out that it needed the exhaust for the backpressure, started after 30 seconds

Mini update on project page

 

:msn1: oh well mines got a exhuast but still wont start :emb:

 

I would try all new fluids and oil filter change. the red light on the speedo dash is the immobiliser.

Not sure what else to say ? :wtf:
