rtm Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Fired it up yesterday, It ran ok ish but wouldnt tick over. Today I drained the 2.5 year old fuel and cleaned the carb and fitted a new carb slide I picked up a while ago. ran much better but kicked back a bit on start up. So decided to retard the ignition a bit. Now it wont run at all. Fires occasionally but thats all. I think I'll buy a new generator coil and a new pick up coil and see if that helps. Entered a trial next weekend so gotta get this sorted this week. otherwise I'll be trials riding on my CRF450 and thats not been used in at least 6 years. probably need fresh fuel too.

rtm Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 £80 for a new stator coil, soon changed my mind. Cant be that hard to wind my own, I can count. Ordered a resistorless spark plug cap and a basic spark plug (will close the gap up as much as I dare) and see how that goes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtm Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Suprisingly, the bike ran quite well and didnt really let me down all day. It would bog and die on me if I left the throttle alone however, yet if I kept blipping it, it would run pretty much faultlessly. So I guess it could be running rich? Oh, the shocks dumped their oil, can I get replacment seals for the original shock? or am i looking to make my own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
