I'll just stick to the scooter fixing in future and leave the funnies to the comedians.
PS It is cool watching missile cam when they park one through a window only slightly bigger than the missile fins isnt it?
I agree, though some in the maritime world don't. They - being of old sckrewel - believe an instrument connected to a mechanical wheel via a twirly wire in a piece of spaghetti yields better results.Bear45-70 wrote:GPS = Global Positioning System It uses satellites It is very accurate.

The carb doesn't draw oil its injected right beofre the reeds. Most of the pumps leak a little in the crank and cause smokey startups. you just need to get it going long enough to pull the crap though. holding it with pliers get the tip of the plug glowing red with a torch, quickly and carefully put it in and try starting. Have you tried a new plug? Sometimes they look and function fine outside but under compression is a different story.Storm wrote:Pulled the carby apart again to check the float, all was well and in good condition. I also looked through the owner manual and checked the bystarter which was within tolerance(eg 5 ohms out of a maximum allowale value of 10 ohms) the reeds are in good nick with no ragged edges and they move freely.
I'm starting to run out of ideas here-no matter how lean I try to run the carb, the plug still comes out wet after 1 crank of the starter.
Is there a possibilty of too much oil being drawn in after the carb?if so, how do I check for it and adjust the flow level?
Any help gratefully recieved
