2 stokes need to back pressure to seal the incoming charge. whacking in the fuel via choke is just masking it. you need to carry out a plug chop, to ascertain the correct mixture and have a load of mains and pilot jets to change fuel delivery.

if battery is good, sounds like the starter is stalled or earthing out bringing down the voltage.

if its getting too much oil, it'll never rev. the engine will 4 stroke as the plug fouls up. My friend had a aprillia RS125 and never revved it. brought it to me as it had no power and I just revved the arse off it out of gear till the plug cleared and it was good to go. you can't dawdle on those things, they are built to be anti social.

I'd give it a go. make sure it mics out with thicknesses and lengths etc. nothing to lose really

I'm sure there's a chart somewhere online that states the equivalent aspect ratio.

check wheel bearings too can transmit through the drive chain

try the earth first. clean the area. undo the block connectors and spray with contact cleaner and a bit of acf or equivalent

welcome

wrinkly, i did my IAM 2 years ago in 2022. best thing I did. I tend to own just yams although I did dabble in a little gilera as a resto mod

in btw

The Yamaha Enticer is an entry-level cruiser motorcycle that was produced from 2002 to 2006 in India. I've no idea how to comment as never heard the engine run, If yamaha service centre says its gone, then I would assume they would know. Looks like a similar engine would fit, but you would need the electronics with it too. Sounds like it's above your knowledge though unless you know a sympathetic motorbike tinkerer nearby.

inn have a ride on different bikes if you can, even if its just a sit on. You'll soon get a feel of what they feel like with the balance etc.

FAQ's for the site NOT bikes

yep, get it started first, easier to sell and get more money for it.

process of elimination rather than swapping parts. bypass the switches one by one. When I had issues like that, it turned out to be a fault in a wire from the sensor even though it ohm'd out ok

I run a '96 TDM850 and its taken me everywhere. Simple to work on and very popular in europe. MT-07 is light and newer and probably my choice.

Kevin, As I've already explained I would do. I've messaged Alex and he's promised to get back to you today or tomorrow. He also says check your spam folder in your emails

i swapped my fz600 engine for a 91 version and had to use the correct ecu. it wouldn't start and there should was a very long (over 6month) fault finding escapade. It was down to 1 wire wittch tested ok, but failed when electricity was used. check your ecu number and google that, I may have one in my shed somewhere as I did the same thing. Wasn't until i bypassed the loom was the error found

aye, same to you all. Merry Xmas and a happy new year!

14 years? I'd say its an old thread. google carl salter, I'm closing this thread

you never stop learning, i did my IAM course last year and was a valuable experience. Always look as far as you can and reduce the hazards by speed and position. Communicate to other users you are there by changing position etc As they say be able to stop within the distance ahead of you and on your side of the road.

checked float level?

can you undo them at the engine side rather than carb side? I've modded/shortened allen keys just to do that. For my TDM i have to use a universal joint on a 1/4" drive socket adapter with extensions, absolute pain to do as i have to feel around and hope i have latched onto the screw

what are carb clips? do you mean the inlet manifolds which have clamps on them?

i used one in a gilera and it had replaceable jets (some don't) managed to dial it in and ran well. A few years ago so no idea regarding the seller
