'92 Climber 280 Running Problems

[strugglinon]

Oh joy, none of my flywheel pullers will fit the bloody machine.

Must I spend nearly £70 for one from Aprillia?

I'm beginning to dislike this bike.

I'll admit that I don't know for sure, is it M35 x 1.5mm thread form? If so get in touch.

That's the one, all my pullers are for an external flywheels.

Where abouts are you?

Husqvarna also have one that fits.

Found them on Amazon for £35 that'll do.

Although it may not be worth bothering with because so far on the strip down I've discovered;

Clutch Spring holder has had a leg snapped off, it's been taken out together with the spring and bolt.

When all that went pop it's broken a tooth off of the intermediate gear. Found the tooth stuck to the drain plug!

Gear selector shaft is badly worn from not being tight enough.

Kick start shaft is the same.

Kick start lever has had its shoulder made up from weld.

Enthusiasm is waning and I've not got the flywheel off yet. But at least the mains seem ok.

Hello, 

Just wondering if this was ever resolved? I have a similar problem. Mine went from running only on the choke to only running for about 20 seconds at a time. This happened in about a 45 minute time span, and occurred quite out of the blue. Have another carb I'm gonna try today. If that's not it I hope I don't have a bigger problem!

Hi Captainvette,

Took me some time but I got another bottom end from a guy in Italy. Built it up and the poxy thing still wouldn't run off choke.

I relented and bought an ultrasonic cleaner.

Stripped the carb, put it through the cleaner a few times, it now runs great.

Although weeping gear oil so another strip down is needed.
