I'm in need of advice again please.- I have just jump started my mk1 dt125lc without an exhaust on just to see if it starts !!!!!!!!!!! It did, but alot of water was spu ing out of the exhuast outlet port !!! does anybody know y this is, the engine seems to have very low compression as i can push the kick start with my hand very easily. Hope to hear from somebody sooooooooon Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWheatley Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hi Are you loosing coolant? if you are I would say thats either the head gasket or cracked head/barrel, no way to check apart from the head has to come off. Would suspect the gasket first unless the engine has been cooked. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would suspect the gasket first unless the engine has been cooked. Rob Check the coolant for the presence of oil - would confirm head gasket (which it sounds like). Also possible white smoke out the exhaust (steam) if the engine can run long enough to get hot.... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
