armfaw Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 its driving me nuts!! morning all... i've had this bike a yr or so put new camchain on it as it came without on, i think it must of broke on the last owner.. anyway did that ,it could do with some new guide rails.. i have been useing it this last 2 weeks on and off.. but it wont start i have to unscrew the carb tip some petrol in it then it will start, the choke is'nt working right, it dont work unless you tug it from the carb end... the idle is up and down... we did a oil change last weekend and tons of metel fileings came out with the oil filter and the strainer at the bottom of the engine....we have stripped and cleaned the carb twice...any ideas??

Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 18, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2012 I would be worried about the metal parts. Is the choke fixable? What is wrong with it? Have you tested the compression? If you are not going to go an engine strip, I would look at fixing the choke first - assuming the engine has compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
