Reply To: Bike died but restarted. – GT125
Hi Marcel,
Thank you for the very informative list of checks to do and possibilities.
As soon as i get a free hour or two i shall remove the carbs and start with those because i noticed now its cooler sometimes the bike will start with no choke at all and sometimes it needs 3/4 choke but will never start with full choke. Also sometimes the idle can be 2k rpm then after a blast it sits at 2.5k so very irregular. When i first got the bike it was set to 2k rpm idle so i dropped it 1.5k but it didn’t like that so put it back to 2k.
Feels flat sometimes, like its under-fueling. First start snappy throttle but after 20 secs feels restricted and flat.
One more question. Do these bikes have some sort of EGR system and/or a restrictor of some sort (oxi cat?) in the exhaust. Reason i ask is because it feels as though it’s not breathing properly, the end can is actually bronze in colour now like its getting too hot. The bike goes but you have to wind it up.
Thanks again,
John.
