Anthc24 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi, new here, got myself a trails bike last year to ride over the winter as I race mx, basically when I out it away after the winter it wasn't running, iv just got it back out to fix ready for the winter and it started after a few kicks with no petrol in and I think the petrol was even turned off! It cut out and couldn't get it going again even when I put petrol in. When I put petrol in it came p***ing out of one of the pipes going down towards the back shock, guessing this is an overflow? I stripped the carb down and there was green stuff in the bottom of the float bowl and on the jet, green hard stuff. Cleaned everything up and still won't fire. Any help is much appreciated Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Trials Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 This isn't a moto trials forum but anyhow, there's a few guys on here who may be able to help. Is it still leaking when the fuel tap is turned on? Could be flooding because the floats are filled with petrol or the float valve's stuck. Green stuff sounds pretty tragic too hah. Would check over and make sure all the jets are as clean as a whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 As above, strip the carb again, make sure the float isn't sticking which if it was would cause the fuel to overflow out. Your spark plug could also be fouled, whip it out and clean it up or just replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 But of advice, if you are planning on laying the bike up for a while, drain the carb of petrol first, make sure the float bowl is empty. Your issue is More than likely dried gummed up petrol/oil mix bunging up the needle valve, which will hold it open and cause the float bowl to overfill, hence it coming out of the overflow pipe. The way I do it is to take the carb off, completely strip it down and clean it in an ultrasonic bath, something like a jewellery cleaner. Gets all the shite out of the little galleries.

Dazza1414 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 This is a common beta problem I'm afraid, when it over flows try tapping the side of the card quite hard with a screwdriver. There is a mod you can do which you will find in the bike specific forum on trials central. ( just seen you have posted on there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
