AndrewElvisFan Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I will be borrowing bits from the other SR to problem solve but doubt I'll get to the bottom of it in time for squires. I trust the one I'm using to get me there and back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted August 30, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2014 sounds healthy, how you can get it going but not the shop? did you run it till it warms up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ran for about 10 mins... then took it up a erm private road and back so nice and warm. Running on reserve tank though so didn't take it too far! I cleaned the plug, all electrical connections and made sure they were making good contact. The plug was black and dry so tried a teaspoon of fuel in the hole and she started up! The shop did say it was an intermittent fault and they had changed the cdi unit. Maybe one of the connections wasn't quite right? The exhaust almost sounds like it's blowing compared to my other one, but that could be 3 holes in the end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 30, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2014 Great stuff Andrew. Tappets, carb clean/swap, air filter and check the plug in it is the correct one - would be my first jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Spark plug is the same as the other - although it has a weak spark. Just running it now after getting her going again. Didn't want to start at all to begin with. Now using my plug in its place! There is a plug light thing fitted so I know the ht has power. So I'm thinking new plug. Also just checked the cam chain tensioner which needed adjusting and sounds a bit better. I think it is just a noisy exhaust compared to mine!

meatloaf Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Is it going to Squires Andrew? ? well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Not great sound but here's the difference - the new one sounds a lot 'bigger'! https://vimeo.com/104807490 https://vimeo.com/104807631 I'm thinking it's supposed to be like that? New spark plug, clean carb, new side panel, new centre stand, MOT and sell her on with a bit of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Went to clean the carb and all is clean already New spark plug in and fresh fuel, started first time!! But have discovered the intermittent ignition issue. The HT lead has an inline spark indicator which is confirming that there was no power going through. Any idea what to swap out first? I was thinking the coil first as the first option but given that the problem does not show perhaps for a week at a time, is there any test I can do?

AndrewElvisFan Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 5 minutes after I had no spark I tried it again and she was working again?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Going to get a new battery this week so I don't have to keep swapping back with the other SR then start a new thread in workshop when I start swapping bits over.

AndrewElvisFan Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Lol! Still working on it, but have had no time for the last week. Got a new battery for her but now I can't recreate the problem to identify where the fault is. Every time I've been starting her, she has started first time! I was hoping to get something done this afternoon but it's lashing down so it's staying under cover! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
