Thanks. Obviously not being regulated properly. I'll hunt down a spare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What voltage should I expect to go back to my battery? Put a new one in and after hooking it up it worked ok. But when I went to go for a ride the red and black wires to the battery melted. I ran a multi meter on the red wire to the battery and on idle it showed around 5v when i gave it some revs it went up to 11v. Not worked on 6v bikes before so not sure what to expect. Wondering if i just had a defective battery or I cooked it with the bikes current reg/rectifier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Compression test shows 80psi. Time for a rebuild. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plug is oil fouled. Top end rebuild? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cleaned out the exhaust. Soaked for a few hrs in oven cleaner. Actually then ran better than before, idled nicely. Grabbed a helmet to go for a quick spin and it cut out. So it had idled for about 2 or 3 minutes. Then went back to starting easily but cutting out after 5 secs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Electrics is my next area to check. Stator to CDI and kill switch is probably the first point. Coil to plug has all been replaced with new stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pilot jet was cleaned. It was pretty bad when removed. Think I'll clean the carby again and soak the entire body overnight. Tank vents ok. Did the same thing with the filler cap removed. Going to decarbonise the exhaust today and see how it goes. From the rear with baffle out it looks pretty bad in there. At least I know it runs.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm trying to get an old mx running for my 12yr old to use. Picked it up as a non runner. Was told it was running then it sat for ages. I've got it running but it's cutting out after 5 secs or so. Things I've done: -Clean carby. Main jets ok pilot jet was a mess. -Replace spark plug, ignition coil- spark is now good -Bypassed autolube to run on premix from tank -Repaired some burnt wiring from stator to CDI. Wiring had cooked sitting next to exhaust -Checked petcock- good flow -Replaced air filter The only current thought that is the exhaust needs decarbonising. Otherwise I'm short on ideas. Any other tips would be appreciated. Posted a video on youtube: http://youtu.be/RbtAoiKkUEk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
