hi all just a follow up to my question, i said i had a spark but it could be weak as i only tested it using one of those inline light tester, my new question is does the engine case need to be earthed to the frame ? i have painted both the engine and the frame so it came to mind that i might not have a good earth am i correct in my thinking? thanks in advance nigel

hi paul yes skin and rice pudding come to mind. i will try that and if it still wont start i will strip the carb and clean it, thanks for the help nigel

Hi all i have been restoring a Honda Mt5 moped for my son. on rebuilding the bike i made some pre mix fuel as i have had the oil pump off.i think i put to much oil in this. the bike started and ran ok for a few minuets then died. the oil pump had primed and was pumping into the manifold so far to much oil was going in to the mixture, i removed the plug which was fouled and have since drained the carb and fuel tank and refiled the tank with fresh fuel,the bike will not start. my question is could the oil in the fuel block jets in the carb as there does not seem to be fuel getting to the chamber as the plug seems dry. any advice would be fantastic cheers nigel

hi all i opened the back door to let the dog out this morning only to find that my bike had been blown over, it was then i discovered yamaha parts are made out of play doh and pig iron. handle bars bent clutch lever snapped choke lever snapped indicator smashed seat ripped ordered the parts £80 without the seat. happy new year

hi all right i got to the carb and found the choke plunger stuck fast and the tab where the cable fits broken off. i had to drill the plunger and use a screw to pull it out, now for the best bit....... i got on the phone to order a new plunger it comes with the spring and nut and is called a "starter kit" my first words were " how f**king much" go on without checking have a guess ?? nigel

yes it does but to be honest this weather is not the best anyway so no worries least i will be dry. nige

Hi all I have a little bit of a problem my choke has stuck on so when the bike warms up it stalls. It is stuck at the carb end the inner wire is free at the lever. i have consulted the haynes manual and you have to remove the tank seat and panels to get to the carb. any ideas for a quick fix as i am at work during daylight hours and dont want it out of action till the weekend if possible. cheers nigel
