    @terry-tz said in Need help:

    @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 😉

            @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

                                    Will it start without choke?

                                        That looks and sounds like it's overfueling to fook.

                                        Quick check, remove the snorkel, does it get better or worse. Restrict the airbox, does it get better.
