I Dont Know.

Hello out there.

I took me Ty 125 out for the first time in months the other day. I cleaned the carb as per usual and it ran the best it has since I've had it.

Thought I'd get out today for a bit. Kicked her over,put her in to first and pulled away. What I got was a horrible whining sound and I couldn't get it into gear properly. Horrible pitch and no power.

If its the carb again I had very good explanation from you guys on that so I can redo it if necessary. Would a new jet be needed?

Cheers.

Squid.

Hi Squid, the whining sound could be coming from the clutch side, sometimes the clutch wobbles so much that the gears whine, perhaps even enough to prevent the engine running. have a check of the oil and perhaps remove the clutch case and inspect the gears inside. Don't think the carb would cause the fault you mention.

I rebuilt my carb in the kitchen once, that made the missus whine!

I'll have a few wild guesses at what squid's squeal is

If it is only when the bike is moving along, it might be one of the brakes dragging

If the pitch changes when you move the throttle, or as the revs change, it might be an air leak

Again if it is only when the bike is moving, a wheel bearing or the drive chain might be very dry or siezed

Thanks for those Andy T, Monty Jon and Feetupfun.

I'll take a look at the weekend.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers
