any one got any ideas or thoughts for this ?

Sounds very much like a stator fault to me. Another (dire) possibility is that the crank is twisted and not sealing on the mag side. Check the flywheel doesn't have any "run out" when kicking it over with the plug removed.

yes my mate mr holt used his meter eqp on them an said the readings were fine ones a bgm other is a indian one
looks like a engine strip then

Gary, did you change the stator or just measure the resistance of both? The black pick up can do some funny things. just cos it says it's ok doesn't mean it is. Have you really swapped an indian stator for a BGM or visa versa or just measured them on the bench. You'll never know if the pick up is f@@ked unless you swap it for a known good one.

Good luck. It could have been worse a holed piston. But you are used to them.

i put the bgm one on about 4 months ago but the one i took off was still workin , bgm was tested on scoot , even if u hav good readings could it still not work? the petrol was put in 3 or 4 days ago and has been used couple times and was runnin fine, this is doin me head in lol

brother in law had a similar problem ,scoot ticked over fine but died a soon as he tried the throttle ,turned out to be the carb,the clip had come off the needle so even though the slide was moving the needle stayed put and wouldn't let the fuel through

the scoot dosnt tickover it just fires for couple seconds

Gaz have you checked its not the flux capictor you fitted last week, may be draining the power? Do you reckon it will work when you hit 88... :bouncing:

sef

lol thats it sef u got it mate i recon i hit 88 and the flux capictor took me back to 1984 when lambrettas never run proper !!! lmao
p.s wonderd y i didnt hav beer belly anymore and more hair on me head

up date tryed another stator still same but new devlopment oily petrol is p1551ing outer the exhaust manifold when i kick it over !!! ?

It's not something as simple as a stuck float is it?

ive just taken the exhaust off an its full petrol, before i do any more how would i know if the float is stuck ? would it not p155 out the over flow ? its a tm 35
p.s i hav tried the plug out and kickin it over to clear the barrel and it nearly runs when i put the plug back in for first few kicks

[Daggs]

Are you CERTAIN the woodruff key is not sheared?

[guygrrr]

i'm having the same problem with my series one. Kick it over, it'll fire for a few revs then die out. From water inthe gas to shaged stator, i've tried "it all". But I lke the stuck float idea, the carb has been a consistent variable in all my tests. Hmmmm.
