bambam_n_chunx Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 So i thought my new to me gasgas had a problem with the carb but ive checked it out and reset it perfectly. The bike runs spot on for about 20 mins and then starts misfiring and pinking. Guessing the fault is electrical, Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 You might add what Gas Gas. Also the fan or water pump could cause this along with an air leak from a bad main seal on the mag side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam_n_chunx Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Its a 2017 gasgas txt 250 Runs smoothly for about 15 minutes then starts to act up Suspect the stator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 So, the fan comes on and runs fast?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam_n_chunx Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Fan works but speeds up with engine revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Stators are usually good on gassers, id look elswhere first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 15 minutes is also about the time it takes for a fuel venting problem to appear. Remove your gas cap when it starts running poorly, for a quick check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam_n_chunx Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Tried venting the tank, tried running it with choke on, changed plug. Was advised by a good gasgas guru to send the stator to Bradford ignition services so that went this morning. p****d off with it tbh, and im told its a common fault with this type of system on this year of bike.

arnoux Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'd agree with Dabster, the stators (and the rest of the ignition system) are super reliable on these Gasser. I would be surprised if that was it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Well, we will wait and see what happens. I have never seen a stator replaced in our club. Since 1993, I have seen a handful of CDI`s and a few other electical parts fail. I hope you at least checked all your grounds and connections first. If anything the spark plug cap needs removed and trim the primary line from the coil. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a common problem, with any year. who told you that? Dont send anything away till its proved faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam_n_chunx Posted May 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Relieved to be able to say the stator came back from Bradford ignitions this week who suspected it had suffered some water damage. Been out for a good few hours today and its never missed a beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
