engine won't rev and smokes
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2015 6:53 am
hey,
it's been a while since I've been here!
so it was also a while since I've ridden my S2. when I tried to get her going again she'd go for 100mtrs and die, as in rev drops and dies. checked the carb (22 jetex), cleaned the jets, replaced the fueltab with a new fast flow tab,... tried again, yes she starts, idles, runs! but yet again she ran 100mtrs and the same thing happens...
there's also a lot more smoke than normal.
any suggestions?
since it's been a while: the engine is a standard 1960 Li150 with a GP150 kit, elec ignition and Jetex carb. I used to commute on it, but the last few years it's only been used for the occasional little ride around town.
