If its been sat around in a shed for a year, you will have to get rid of the fuel thats in the tank and clean out the carb. put fresh petrol mix in and it will probably be fine.
yes! Screw,spring, washer, the more you unscrew it the more fuel you get to the primary circuit. if you strip the carb down you can see what it does. Start at about three turns out and go from there. Not saying that this will cure your problem but when you are adjusting, it helps to know what is actually happening when you turn the screw.
I would still do the stator side crank seal, as long as you have a flywheel puller this is a very simple cheap job to do.(as you said earlier)
Hi, Just a comment, If you have the same dellorto carb as the earlier models then the mixture adjustment screw is a fuel adjuster and not an air screw.
Hi I live in Folkestone and joined Folkestone club, about three years ago, I found all the local clubs to be really friendly and you soon find some one to ride with.
once you have got your licence you can ride pretty much all the events locally anyway.
As already said the begginners and woblers is a good place to start, no pressure just ride the sections.
Hookwoods is brilliant, bit of a trek to get to though.
Hi you shouldnt need to split the cases to change the seals, if that is what you need to do. In my experience it is usualy the fly wheel side seal that suffers the most because it is running dry on one side(this should make it run weak if it fails). Easy to change once fly wheel is removed. You can carefully insert two small self tapping screws into seal and then pull seal out whithout damaging the case. oil up and pop new seal in.The other side should be the same but you will have to remove the clutch and water pump gear to get to it.
before you do all that I would make sure the exhaust is clear as it could be full of gunk that is burning, clean air filter and make sure you are using the recomended 2t mix for that bike.
Is it using gearbox oil?
You didnt say if this is a new problem or have you just bought the bike with this problem.
Hi I have changed one on my sons 94 contact, I didnt have to remove swing arm. It is tight and it depends on weather you have the straight swing arm or the one that curves around the master cylinder. I think you should gain a bit more room if you take out the top bolt from the shock and let the swing arm hang down a bit.
Just a thought, If your bleed nipple is loose in the thread,you can draw air in to the system as you push in the fluid. (assuming you are using a syringe and tube) I have in the past has to put a small amount of PTFE tape around the nipple thread, Blead system then remove tape and tighten up, it really should not be that hard.
I've looked on there and the dealer didnt seem to have much choice, I've also e-mailed gas gas about the parts problem but no reply as of yet
Hi
I use gas gas uk for parts for my sons 94, 125 and my 95, 320 and they have always had what i wanted and post them very quickly.( Including plastics, bearings, seals, clutch plates, carb parts and gaskets)
You will have to order over the phone but you can get the number from their website.
I have a TL125S which runs great but as you know lacks some grunt, I am thinking of a Sammy Miller 150 conversion kit, is there anyone who has completed a recent conversion, can say if it's worth the money or hassle ?
Hi
I had a new one done about 18 months ago ,(previous one done about 30 years ago) I sent my barrel to sammy miller products and it came back about a week later all done, bored out with a new piston and gaskets.
Phone first and speak to Richard to pre arrange it and get a quote, he is very helpful.
As for is it worth it? you will notice a good improvement in low end power and I would say yes it is worth doing especially if your 125 is a little tired anyway.
You will see the 124 or 122 on the outside of the barrel, I think its under the inlet behind the carb.
