Nope - looked for that...

buy a inductive pickup RMP meter for a gokart that straps on to the sparkplug lead. $$$$

other than that you're stuffed - these old two strokes are a pain to get a RMP gauge for.

Oh. Great.

I'll check with a mate of mine (telecommunications engineer - he might understand what you said in 1, 2, and 3.

I have acquired a XL125 bucket that I am considering stripping to sell as parts. Just want to get it running first. It has no spark. Do you need to run a battery to make these things spark?
PS. You do if it's running total loss ignition with no rotor, as I noticed today.

It also came with a spare barrel and piston.
The barrel is marked 124cc. is scratched in one place and is ready for a rebore. the piston is a 150cc piston for it so I have been told.
If it's of any use, let me know, and I will pop it on trademe at $1 reserve.

yap am keen Racey but dont have a trade me account:slap:

if you have no fly wheel you need a Battery but that can become a hassle at times if you can just throw on a flywheel (points or CDI Ignition?) and then try get a standered wiring loom and go from there but if it is allready wired just get a battery and go for it

I do want the barrel and piston!!

Ok guys I have had the ignition timing out but is adjusted and advanced a little carb running ether

cam timing was out andme and RG100!! put the wrong cam in

Hmmm, so youre the one selling that....got it sorted yet? Sounds like the bike was lent to someone who has since sold it, and now you've ended up with it?
