      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 😉

                @vtrn_raptor Sounds like it's running rich. Is it sooty? Could be too much oil.

                Two strokes don't have too much compression.

                    @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 alt text

                          the top one is a plug with too much oil
                          the bottom one is too much fuel

                          which one is your closest too

                            @vtrn_raptor I can't see the picture very well but yes that looks like a plug from too much fuel wet
