Airhead

Heres another, I tend to go here Motocarb You are not being done down Martin we just like to see an intro post first ...Paul

Sounds like blocked pilot jets, I assume it has carbs...not fuel injected?

Working off memory Lee and without the benefit of a diagram...The battery feed (Red) goes to the ignition switch and gets switched when the key is on to the Brown wires. Disconnect and check the connectors in the headlamp, make sure you have 6v arriving at the Red (socket)and generally do some metering around the ignition switch, like check the switch closes between Red and Brown using a continuity test (200 Ohms range)

is thet a police constabule from the UK? I too use iridium tinted visors, I cant stand bright sunlight and I wear specs so it's the best way fpr me, like Drewpy says though, not after sunset

Good news Liam, sounds like you have a bloody awesome one there, faster than mine I reckon but I have heard the early ones are the fastest. I wouldnt like to do 180 mls on one but if its in good order it should take it in it's stride, take your time like. The seats are bloody uncomfortable to say the least but Pat (2wheels) came from Ireland on his so if the will is there...

First post and not so much as even a 'Hello'

Well said that man, poeople but time and effort and even research into answering posts in order help to solve problems. I have done it myself many many times, it used to get my goat too NEO, keep going to the seemingly urgent request for help, only to find still no reply.

If it is blocked you may hear a rush of air into the tank as you open it, or it may restart quickly, if so it is up to you to find out why, i'm no R6 expert and I'm not suggesting you should ride with the filler cap open

Another tank vent problem? Try opening the filler cap when she dies, does it re start then?

Tank breather trapped, blocked or otherwise ineffective? Try opening the gas cap when it 'quits' and listen for a rush of air, see if it will re-start quickly. Hello and welcome, we have a 'Noobs' forum if you please My name is Paul

? err yes

, nuff said

Could be a broken, leaking or otherwise disconnected vacuum line between the fuel tap and the inlet manifold. That is assuming that this ped does indeed have a vacuum operated fuel supply....not familiar

Greetings fli , looks cool. Had it long?

what is the recent history to this 'not starting' ? is there a good spark?

Greetings, another 2 stroke DT fan where are you...USA?, teardown and 78 dt250 sound like American ways of saying things ...Paul

yes the only way petrol gets in there is through the seal.

Great little problem solve, hats off to you sir. (RS is a good source for these kind of widgets)

Its a chopper alright

Greetings Rutele and to the forum

Try increasing the revs with a little 'blip' of the throttle during ANY downshifting (not up shifting) it helps a lot

Back in the day when I had 4 strokes the adjuster went through one end of the rocker arm and pusshed down on the valve stem, the gap was set between the adjuster (tappet) and the valve stem and then the little locknut done up afterwards. This has to be done at definite pionts on the engines rotation and may co-incide with marks on the flywheel rotor. of course since then many bikes have moved to shims for adjustment...never done one of those.

OK thanks for the heads up Alex, from when?

Greetings, Looks like you got a great example there, a picture?
