    More problems with my DT lol and need help as im learning slowly. Basically when you rev it the revs drop back down slow, ive tried wd40 round the cylinder head and inlet manifold and ive cleaned the carb but still no joy. Has anyone had this problem before?

    Did you take the magneto cover off to make sure its spinning? Sounds like mine and my woodruff key has broke just waiting on a new one.

    The woodruff key has broke the flywheel spins on the crankshaft.

    Ok so ive had it all in bits, piston and ring looked fine so i put gasket seal on the head gasket and put it all back together then took carb off and give it a good clean. It felt better but still wouldnt start so i took the fly wheel cover off to find its the woodruff key : ( how do i get the nut off the crank when the fly wheel spins on the crank? Ps i know im an idiot lol.

    Yes theres a good blue spark there. Im starting to think head gasket?

    Put a new plug in and it wont even try to start, i took the new plug out after trying and it was soaking wet through and it smelt of petrol???

    Also is the back firing a sign of anything as it does it as soon as it tries to start and cuts out and it back fires when you try to start it if it dosnt start?

    Ok lastnight i got the bike home as my boss lent me a wagon, all nuts/bolts were tight but when i took the exhaust of and operated the kick start and watched the piston it was hissing like air was passing the piston. Is this piston rings? Also it will start for a second then the exhaust pops and it cuts out. : (
  17. Paullaith replied to Paullaith's post in a topic in General
    Yes theres fuel going through it starts for a couple of seconds then dies and it dosnt sound right when its running. I dont have the tool to torqe the nuts up but a guy at work thinks it maybe the head nuts have come loose. They seem tight by hand but i will have to get the bike home to check it proppery.

    Hi and thanks for looking at my topic, i was riding to work this morning and the bike was riding fine then after around 5 mile it lost most of its power. It was strugling to do 25 then when i got near work it cut out at the lights, when i tried to kick start it i got a pop from the exhaust and i think it seems down on compression. I rebuilt the top end 150 mile ago. All help will be greatly appreiciated.

  24. Paullaith replied to Paullaith's post in a topic in General
    The woodruff key was broke but ive got another and put the engine back together now the only thing thats bothering me is the clutch lever assy that the clutch cable attaches to on the engine pulls out and is loose without the spring thats on top of it, is this normal or has it dis engaged from something?
  25. Paullaith replied to Paullaith's post in a topic in General
    I know yes thanks again for your wise words. The crank i put in has alot more play in the big end than the crank i took out but ive just got another one that is bang on. The engine was only run for 2-3 seconds when the nut came off and havnt tried startin it so i hope it should be ok. What should i look for?
