Need help
-
@vtrn_raptor do what you think best mate it's a safe option but personally, I think you would be better off doing it your self save a few pounds and have a better knowledge for next time
-
I would do it myself but I literally have no clue what's wrong with it and don't have the money to put it back standard
-
I bet that the shop will also want to put it back to standard to get it running correctly. Ideally you want to use a two stroke tuner / specialist so that they understand the issue and can both diagnose and then solve it.
Many shops these days might not have as much knowledge of two strokes as one was the norm
-
@vtrn_raptor no no no we don't mean buying original exhaust ect we mean to put the carb and a few other bits if you have them back to standard and honestly we understand you don't have a clue at the end of the day it's your bike and your choice but you would really benefit from doing it your self and save money at the same time really it easy just looks hard pal just throw some pics up mate it could be an easy fix you just don't know how it works yet

Is he really saving any money though? I mean if he's spent 2.5k on it and still not solved it, then obviously he's just throwing money away.
Second that though, most shops are going to return it to stock trim to fix it.
I can't see it being anything particularly difficult.

@calum the bike runs sounds like he been playing with it so it not chewing itself to bits on the inside considering he been redlining on a stand so the bike should be an easy fix in my opinion 2.5k tho @vtrn_raptor I could buy a few dt125r's for that just make a new thread call it the 2.5k black hole and start from scratch give us the bike details in the description ie year, model and any mods don't focus on a symptom yet just get some pics up
-
Could be a conflict between old generators and new CDI's (for example) but with that amount of money being spent on it chances are its now something relatively simple
I do however appreciate how frustrating these problems can be at time and how you want to murder someone when you've taken a carb apart 58 times

Just done a compression test and it's at 100psi is that low ?
-
And the spark plug is black was a brand new one
-
@vtrn_raptor Sounds like it's running rich. Is it sooty? Could be too much oil.
Two strokes don't have too much compression.
-
I'll take a photo now
-
@vtrn_raptor really start from scratch your only confusing your self more it does sound like your running rich like @Calum said but I would not say that as you have still not put a picture of the plug up or taken a video and it could and most likely is too much fuel and that's why I said to run the bike for 10 sec's and take a picture as your descriptions are bad but considering that your at least trying I will tell and show you the differents
-
-
@vtrn_raptor I can't see the picture very well but yes that looks like a plug from too much fuel wet
-
Do you use Instagram ? As could send you a video of what the bikes doing on their

It's like this while riding won't go past 20mph soon as I let of the throttle it dies
