Engine Dying

[Calum]

When you run out of oil you will put air in the oil pump system. This wjll need to be bled. As a result it is not enough to just put oil in.

@Blaze-Vile yes so even though you put oil in you were still riding with no oil for all of those 60ft

[Minia]

A 2 stroke wouldnt seize from 60ft without oil. This indicates a problem that started before.

[declan]

@Minia well he was riding it with no oil prior to that though wasn’t he

[Minia]

@declan well question is for how long.

[NINJA]

Bleeding the system would be a wise move, just to ensure that all of the air is pumped out. An even wiser move would be not to let the bike run out of oil in the first place. Oil is the lifeblood of a 2 stroke engine, never ride without it!!!

@Calum I drove for a couple of days with premix, and then i switched back to using the oil tank by filling it up, ran premix for a day or so, and after that i have just used the oil tank. Does this mean that my bike has not been getting oil through or does it bleed itself after a while?

[declan]

@Bananper if there’s not a blockage or a restriction the pump will bleed it’s self over time if you have pre mix in it,

[Bananper]

@declan yeah, it's smoking blue and smells like a two stroke so i guess it's okay

[Calum]

@Bananper Yeah that sounds fine. You are meant to bleed the pump from the oil pump itself. There is a nozzle you use to bleed from. so unless something went wrong you should be okay.
