itstommmm Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Maybe a bit rich or air filter clogged over oiled what's plug colour Plug colour is like the color of wood, should I try to start without air filter in? I think I've over oiled the air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfr Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I think I've over oiled the air filter. Dry it off then with some kitchen roll only needs a very light covering but make sure its covered all over. Do a search on the net loads of how to vids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie_lejeune Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 wash air filter out with soapy water until its clean then put it in. Dont oil it all- It doesnt need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 There are many reasons that this could happen. Too much fuel, not enough air, wet or clogged exhaust packing, low compression. No matter what the found reason is, you have to oil an air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 It proves that if you put too much oil on you can choke the pores I suppose but filters are not oiled to keep out water, rather to catch dust, which we do occasionally get in the UK. Internal surfaces of air boxes (both sides of the filter) coated with grease for a similar reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 well i have never oiled a filter. you dont need to oil one on a trials bike if your in the uk,.?...?Your call, it is your bike But the foam IS NOT the filter All it does is hold the filter oil in suspension The oil IS the filter So you may as well not run a filter at all if its not oiled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 oil not needed for uk trials, very little dust. wash the air filter after every trial if it wet and clean the airbox out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
