shambles1980 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 ok so i was able to get up to the house again today, and had some time to tinker with the bike. "rxs 100" i put a inline fule filter on there and adjusted the carb as best i could so it idles at about 1.3 "seemed to do that just fine and i left it just ticking over for a good 30 mins as i did other stuff" as its sorn I couldnt take it for a proper test. and i still havent re built the engine any way, All i have done so far is put on a new head. (using the old gasket. seems to be sealing well though) Any way. i have a prety long garden "not wide but long" so i took it up and down the garden a few times. "managed to get 10MPH! " obviously never managed to get in to 2nd.. but i noticed. It seems to be blowing out a lot of smoke where the exhaust connects to the down pipe.. It also seems to be dripping lots of black horrible oil from the same place.. I decided to check the baffle and that too was cover with black oil. Im assuming that this is an engine seal/gasket some where that needs replacing. but im wondering if it could just be because i have 2stroke oil in the fule. And the 2 stroke oil pump is pumping more in there,. just never seen oil come from there. i have tried playing with the carb to get it running leaner, but at the moment its as good as i can get it using trial and error. dont know when i will have the time to strip down and rebuild it. but it is on the cards sometime during the winter months, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted December 12, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thats the kind of thing fixed with a good thrash to clear all the oily shit that will be in the motor gubbins. If a 2 stroke doesent get properly hot the oil never clears the cases and you end up with slimey carbon oily crap everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it shouldn't be leaking there so check for a leak, pinch up the header/exhaust connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambles1980 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 well id love to take it for a thrashing. but SORN, and a garden where i can manage 10MPH in 1st isnt going to do it lol. il see about sealing the exhaust up better.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted December 12, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2012 I fully understand. When I was working on the TS I rode it around the garden once which was it's first ride since 1995. The first real ride was 12 miles to to MOT station a couple of days later.
