well its been an interesting two weeks ..

Battery would not hold a charge so into the Mechanic she goes

Regulator/rectifier was not charging battery & the battery was not holding a charge either ..

hmmm time for a wee bit of mechanical surgery

discussed all the things that needed checking .. biggie was carbs esp since she had been sitting for so long without running

hmm well went to pick her up & Rob was suprised that she was even running .. & ran esp well at manfield. The choke was blocked the idle was blocked & the left carb was almost blocked & the jets were that far off being set correctly it was not funny ..

Guess that explains why the right pipe smoked much more than the left .. prob now solved she smokes evenly now

... watch out those behind me .. double the smoke now

but does she run better .. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I kinda think so .. but not being to sure on how two strokes should sound .. hmm she kinda sounds like a chainsaw at the mo

.. esp if you cruise through the gears .. hmmmm well i know she liked a thrashing & a bit of a hard time (are bikes like their owners

) so started to give her a bit of death ohh yeah now she is sounding less like a sick weedeater & more like the smooth sounding bike I know she can be ...

hmm so two stroke owners is this normal .. the kinda missing sound but when giving it gas smooth & sweet ..

What oil are you using, ive noticed that oil can make a massive difference in how they sound, ive started using average 2 stroke oil because it came in 4L one's but ive noticed my bikes alot louder now compared to the high quality stuff i was using last week, guess im going to go back to the better quality stuff once this is all gone

.

Ive got a blown base gasket right now so mines sounds like utter shit! running far to lean because the airs getting in tho the open gasket. it wont idle for much more than 5 seconds awww its sick

, oh well changing the gasket over next week!.

Good luck with your 2 stroke
