Help?

[Becki94]

Okay, totally new here 😅 so have no idea if this is the right place to post.
Bought myself an ole ZG1000 (Concours, but this one has a prettier face) the other day and have spent a few hours trying to get her going. Have reached the stage where we're turning over and almost catching but not quite. I've put a new battery in, drained carbs, cleaned tank, and have got it to the stage of almost starting but not quite...

Have a feeling it's plug related (or carb related?) however Air NZ wouldn't let me bring my tools down so I'm stuck without the right size plug socket and am scratching my head a little over this one. Anyone in Chch keen to come give me a hand? I'm in Springston atm and will be here till tomorrow evening. Would be eternally grateful!

[T.W.R]

I'm roughly 20mins away and could come have a look tomorrow for you.
With what you've done so far you're best to have a new set of plugs on hand ready to be fitted

The plugs you need are DR8ES

[Honest Andy]

This works on an old bike I had, take all the plugs out and spray some CRC or similar engine start down the plug holes.

don't be bloody stupid, they're way past that kind of nonsense

[T.W.R]

I was bright enough to suggest a possible solution to poster 1's problem. You are just jealous or frightened of being ridiculed to think of a possible solution yourself.

Yet again you make yourself look as you are..... STUPID :laugh:

They aren't even able to get the plugs out :no: plus spraying that shit straight in the cylinders is the perfect way to fuck bores :facepalm:


And to the OP if it's a creamy white GTR :shutup: I worked the bugger plenty of times a few years back...it was always coming into the shop for one thing or another ....

[T.W.R]

If the fact they could not get the plugs out was their only problem I would not have posted now would I?. I said that spraying CRC into the bores "WORKED" and the reason why it would work would be if there is corrosion on the bores. CRC is promoted to free corroded parts did you know. Why strip a motor down if a spray of CRC could get it going. At least as I said I am bright enough to post ideas unlike you and the other poster with your smart arse attacks on me showing how not very bright you both are.

Just shut your trap and do everyone a favour and PISS OFF

Fuck no.

The reason why it would work is the butane propellant's lower ignition point allowing a weak spark or flooded plug to induce combustion. The CRC itself will only contribute to bore washing and damage the engine. Ether type starter cans are designed for this very purpose, and can be squirted into the airbox too; a far better option than some cassina-special thudfuckery.

[bogan]

We both agree what I said works though don't we? If you are worried about engine damage it is really no different to the "damage" that is done when you do an oil change and there is a delay before all the oil circulates. The bike that I did this to is still running 10 years after I sold it which really rubbishes your and the others theory of any engine damage.

Fuck no.

An oil change does not remove the oil from the rings like a bore washing solvent does. 10 years is fuck all, well maintained bikes will easily smash out 30.

[Akzle]

incase it hasn't been made abundantly clear, repeatedly: c*ssina is a fuckwit.

carb tune is on the list. new plugs rule out 4 problems you may otherwise have. i'm picking pilot jet setting and /or worn main seats.

pistons are alloy. rings are steel. if it's "almost starting" it's not "seized" - not to say it hasn't been and you've now gouged the fuck out of the bores, but it's a long way down the list of likely.

again, just to be clear, c*ssina is a fucking moron.

[Grumph]

Without the brains to keep his/its trap shut....

TWR - take a can of Start Ya Bastard along too.

[russd7]

could try new leads as well, a bike that old quite possibly has never had new leads and it can be surprising what new leads will fix, and some ether in the airbox could help as well

[T.W.R]

Without the brains to keep his/its trap shut....

TWR - take a can of Start Ya Bastard along too.

I doubt we'll hear from the OP again.
I'm picking it was the white bugger that used to frequent the shop....It's got a huge amount of kms on it if it is; it was on it's third lap when I last serviced it 9yrs ago

The cock polisher ruined another thread and made it about himself...

[bogan]

This is what CRC 556 does if you have never heard of it and note at the top it states it lubricates as well.

CRC 5-56

Advance Lubrication
Stops squeaks
Stops corrosion
Attacks rusted parts
Displaces Moisture
Cleans tar off vehicles

Astroglide lubricates as well, I suggest you apply liberally and slide your arse the fuck out of technical threads.

[Grumph]

When one of the gpz900/ZX10/Concours family gets hard to start, they're getting pretty fucked. As std they have short cams and plenty of valve area so a good cranking vacuum on the carbs...
maybe the OP will need a supply of Starter cans for their NZ tour....

[T.W.R]

You and a few others are just jealous that you are not mentally retarded yourselves. I dont give a fuck what you think but unlike you and a few others I have lubed my cock & pulled myself to a stand-still and it works. as stated from the CRC spec sheet I posted it does have lubricting properties despite what you lot think.

The cassina narcissistic idiot spec sheet

[bogan]

You and a few others are just jealous that you are not technically minded yourselves. I dont give a fuck what you think but unlike you and a few others I have done this and it works. Even another poster said it could and as stated from the CRC spec sheet I posted it does have lubricting properties despite what you lot think.

Did you just call Grumph not technically minded? good lord, you have no fucking idea do you :laugh:

Also, where the mods at? this shit should have gone to PD a while back...

[Katman]

Did you just call Grumph not technically minded? good lord, you have no fucking idea do you

Except she actually didn't though, did she?

[Becki94]

I've tried with Start Ya bastard, gets so close to starting but just no cigar. Thinking it's plugs but can't be sure without getting to them unfortunately! And nope it's not a white one, she's a red one with a facelift, and only done 18k km but has been sitting and occasionally started over the years. :) just a pain in the ass without the right tools!

[FJRider]

Yet again you make yourself look as you are..... STUPID :laugh:

And to the OP if it's a creamy white GTR :shutup: I worked the bugger plenty of times a few years back...it was always coming into the shop for one thing or another ....

Was "one thing or another"... ever an air filter .. ??? I'd be looking at that.

[T.W.R]

Wow you fuckwit think I made it up? Go and look the specs up before you make any more of a dick of yourself rubbishing them.

Absolutely no rubbishing CRC at all....just directly aimed at you, you completely prove every time you know sweet FA.
5.56 CRC is a lubricant for slow moving pivoting parts etc and definitely not for lubricating an internal combustion engine.

Honestly give a real laugh....what's your trade??

[bogan]

I would have no idea if that poster is technically minded or not for the simple reason I have never met them. So there is no need to be a smart arse about it just because you have.

You haven't met me though, and I haven't met him either...

[T.W.R]

Was "one thing or another"... ever an air filter .. ??? I'd be looking at that.

ha 1st time it came into the shop was just a basic top to bottom service, 2nd time was service, wof which included fork seals plus some minor bits n pieces. 3rd time valve seals & couple of other bits, and the 4th time I saw it was another full service :yes:
That was 8yrs or so back so god knows what treatment it's had since then

[robajs]

try larger than normal throttle opening with starting fluid as these fluids seem to like way more air to work well.
also the kms on the bike may be more than on the odo so the starter motor may be worn and drawing
too much power. have you tried the good old push start with a dose of starting fluid?

[FJRider]

I was bright enough to suggest a possible solution to poster 1's problem. You are just jealous or frightened of being ridiculed to think of a possible solution yourself.

State exactly what actual issue would the CRC spayed down the bore fix ..... ?????????

You listed a number of uses for the product. Which one of those uses be the probable issue on the bike .. ???

A rusty bore maybe ... ??? :devil2:

CRC dispels water ... leaking head gasket maybe ... ?? might need more than one can for that.

The OP didn't say it was squeaking ... so that's out. And I doubt if there's much tar in the bore ...

And I can't imagine lubrication (lack of) is the issue.



If being "Technically minded" ... means spraying CRC 5.56 everywhere ... :killingme

[FJRider]

Through (bitter) experience ... it's the lack of treatment that does the damage ... :whistle:

[T.W.R]

Well the OP has said it isn't the white bugger that lived in DC-town so that's solved that :msn-wink:

But in context of the white one.....it was 230000km plus & counting when I saw it last so 8yrs later it's probably done it's dash anyhow. The owner wasn't anywhere near mechanically minded either but knew full well no fiddle with things he didn't understand.

[bogan]

Where did I say CRC was a replacement for engine oil or petrol for that matter? Poster 1 has just said he has tried Start Ya Bastard which means according to some of you he has stuffed his motor and I am just saying engine start (CRC in my case) does not stuff motors if used to start them only but sure it would if you used it as a petrol or oil replacement.


Fuck no.

Start Ya Bastard is Ether based, and will not damage an engine with normal use. Nobody here has said that will damage an engine when used correctly.



I am not in the motor trade but come from an electrical background although not an electrician. Hope you get a laugh from me having an electrical and not a background as a motor mechanic.

FFS you're so thick you don't even realise what you did with your magic can when you say you got this imaginary bike of you had started on all cylinders with it :laugh:

Spraying the likes of start ya bastard directly into cylinders will & does act like a severe detergent in the combustion chamber....it pools in the lowest point of the chamber, washes the bore & rings in that area and causes blow-by, next thing there's scoring in that area...continued act of doing this with fuck the bores quick smart.
It's meant to be used externally to the intake tracts of the airbox or pre-cleaner etc


meter reader huh :laugh:

[FJRider]

With my bike that had little use and was left outside the CRC would have removed any mild corrosion and condensation.

I'm sure there was little corrosion or condensation inside the engine of your bike ... but ... I asked what issue you would hope to fix in the OP's bike ... by spraying it down the bore .. ???

[Becki94]

She's done genuine low kms luckily, just hoping the rings etc haven't perished from sitting too long! If I can't sort it tomorrow I'll try mail my compression tester down along with my sockets to pull the plugs and go from there. Really hoping replacing them will just do the trick...

[T.W.R]

Funny that a poster has just said Start Ya Bastard
will not harm motors only CRC will due to the different chemical compounds in each. I say again the bike would not be going 10 years later if what you say is true. I only give each cylinder that needs it about a 5 sec squirt and not fill the cylinders up with it if you and others think that.

:killingme 5secs of spraying that shit into a confined area will leave an amount close to a tablespoon full of liquid :clap:

The only way you got away with getting that engine started doing that with CRC was you were temporarily upping the compression :lol: just the same principle as squirting some oil in the bores for a leakdown or compression test.

for a wee experiment for yourself on a flat surface pour two wee amounts of oil, on the 1st spray some start ya bastard or engine start and on the 2nd spray some 5.56...take note of what happens to both, then imagine what happens when a more concentrated amount of each does to a very fine film of oil on a hardened surface

I just saw Becky's post on Bookface and all I can say is that if I were within 100km I'd be there within the hour.

[AllanB]

I think you are on the right track with replacing the plugs. New ones and varoomm

[AllanB]

Hey - I presume that you put fresh fuel in the tank after cleaning it and not the original old stuff?

If it's the old fuel, drain it and replace it. Fuel has a short shelf life now. I had a 80's Kawa years back that I'd not ridden for six months, similar symptoms to what you describe - I spent a morning farting around trying to get it going - changed the fuel and it started first push of the button.

[OddDuck]

Hi Becki,

+1 on what a few of the others have said, plus my contribution...

- fresh spark plugs
- fresh petrol
- battery fully charged
- check HT leads against perishing, dodgy contacts etc
- check starter motor is tight in crankcase *
- check starter motor cables are still good
- check grounds to frame and motor are still good and not oxidised
- turn headlights off while starting
- find and purchase can of CRC 2.26 (the electrical contact cleaner), use this on the CDI's connectors, make and break these connectors a few times **
- put the bike out into sunshine for about 30 minutes prior to first start attempt, or get it warmed up a bit somehow. Warm helps.

* Starter really struggles to get engine turned over, makes horrible noises while doing so. My Ducati was like this for about a year (please don't laugh), I just thought big V-twins were beasts to start and this sort of struggling to turn over was normal. Turns out that the starter motor's ground connection was through the crankcase, if it isn't tight then that's a high electrical resistance at roughly 50 amps and trouble follows.

** The CRC 2.26 worked wonders on my CDI connectors just a couple of weeks ago, if there's a chance of corrosion / oil / dirt on the 12V side then this could torpedo your starting endeavors even if everything else is peachy.

*** ignore Cassina.

Anyway good luck and let us know how it goes.

Ask at the dairy who in the hood is most likely to have tools, or wander towards the Springston pub and ask the dudes in the truck yard just before it.

There's also a garage in Lincoln, and maybe still a hammer hardware? Call the Lincoln garage before walkin, some dudes don't lend tools even if you leave something valuable to guarantee their return.

Sometimes I almost feel sorry for you - almost. But you do ask for what you get.

The CRC 556 is not the product you use to start recalcitrant engines. The stuff that you do use for that does not have lubricating qualities.

Carry on...

That was the first FZR1000 that I had to align hone the cam bearings. Funnily enough I've had to do two more of the bastard things since.

[Honest Andy]

As I said the bike is still running 10 years later. Poster 1 has said he used engine start too so his motor would have damage also according to some of you. Something to think about is engine start would be taken off the market if it damaged motors now wouldnt it.

:psst:Psssst: Engine start is mostly ether, CRC is mostly kerosene. Different products with different uses. Look a bit closer at your spec sheets and go back to my original reply on page 1...

Its the propellant that ignites, hair spray will do the same.

Its the propellant that ignites, hair spray will do the same.

Hair spray was one of the better ones we found in our spud gun escapades, far better than ether based starter sprays. May be an oxidiser compound in there or something.

[FJRider]

How thick are you I wonder as I said it worked with no engine damage. You gain knowledge by trying things and if it works the knowledge is gained. As I said before another poster who did not think it would work conceded it might. Go and read their post as they gave a technical reason why it might work. Then you can call them a retard too.

The OP tried easy-start. It didn't start. The OP fitted new plugs. It did start.

Conclusion ... CRC 5.56 would not have made it start.

As has been stated before ... the reason CRC helps start an engine is not necessarily due to the combustible factor of the fluid.

[T.W.R]

It as I said could also be due to its property of freeing up mildly corroded parts.

[eldog]

From the website Wikipedia Note they only say it can damage diesel engines and also note the sparkplug hole CAN be used to apply the engine start.

Four stroke engines[edit]
Starting fluid is sprayed into the engine intake near the air filter, or into the carburetor bore or a spark plug hole of an engine to get added fuel to the combustion cylinder quickly. Using starting fluid to get the engine running faster avoids wear to starters and fatigue to one's arm with pull start engines, especially on rarely used machines.


rarely used pull start machines... that's why I cant start mine.

I rarely use the pull start.:mobile:or is it not a diesel, that's what I put in the tank its cheaper............
Four good strokes usually does it - gets her going, that is.
