yes petrol flows just fine i checked that.
i have just been told that the guy i bought the malossi block from is that he may of given me the wrong reed block, so after all that could well be the cause it doesn’t want to start.
thanks

Hi Hansieb
thanks for the information you have provided.
ok i will check everything again and see what i can do.
are you supposed to spray deodorant in the cylinder ? no surely not..
i will also check the piston just in case for some reason it hits the head.
i have noticed one thing though when i pull the decompression lever it doesn’t seem…[Lees meer]

Hi Hansieb
yes spark plug sparks no problem at all, a nice clear blue spark.
Yes it is a membran engine as you say and i have the manual choke connected, are these engines bad to start then ?
The carb is leaking a bit where the gasket is, just on one side though would this definitley have an effect on starting the bike ?
i can see you got the…[Lees meer]

ok thanks.

6V or 12V please ?

Yeah then i need to buy a new one.
this is where you start spending money hey trying to find a problem.
any idea on the cdi if it’s 6v or 12v.
thanks
guiseppe

what i’ll do is disconnect the red, white, green cables and leave the spark plug in and turn it over.
i don’t think there’s anyway of checking the cdi is there.
are these cdi’s 6v or 12v please ?
one thing i noticed also is while pedaling i turned the lights on but no life there either, so it could be a faulty cdi not making the engine…[Lees meer]

Hi There

if the CDI was faulty would the plug still spark ?

cable+cap is silicone race so brand new.
you could be right the cdi could be a problem.

Hi Guys

the ignition is electronic so nothing to adjust there really.
yeah but you need the proper attachment to start it with the drill but i don’t have that.

Hansieb

yes i have the choke installed and been using it when i start.
i did also have a 96 jet but again no sign of life.
i have a brand new spark plug but will buy another one…[Lees meer]

Hi

i have tried pedaling and push starting which is very hard as i have variomatic transmission.
if i could by the drill attachment then i could put the drill on it but i don’t know where i can get one.
thanks
giuseppe

when you say ignition you mean the spark ? if it is it does spark well though.
i also tried with a much larger jet before but still nothing.
maybe i should try another carb just in case this one is a problem.

thanks
Giuseppe

well the jet i got in there now is only an 80 so not big at all considering i got a 21mm carb.
you think with the leak it should still start then.
thanks
giuseppe

i pm’d the guy weeks ago to give him the info but doesn’t seem to have returned.
Giuseppe

cheaper to buy a good seconhand unit if you don’t want to buy new.
trouble is if you weld the hole it won’t last very long.
cheers
Giuseppe

i beleive you can change the tension spring but that’s about it.
better to get a second hand unit then you can change the x3 springs to malossi tight ones.
i have bought a lot of parts from moparts and are an excellent supplier, and a great bike builder.
thanks
Giuseppe

excellent guys.
thank you for all your help and advise, i know the direction to take now.
cheers
giuseppe

Hi Martino

yes i can appreciate that all parts need to be coated with oil to ensure it doesn’t seize.
would it be necessary to clean the parts before fitting with a brush and some petrol ?
thanks
giuseppe

H Hi Guys
Thanks Thanks for the advise given, and a wicked video of the ciao was very nice.
Sounds awesome too.
Well i will have to make a decision on which one to go for.
thanks again
giuseppe

sss

Hi

yes mine is on a 22mm connection for the pinasco black.
my setup is a pretty fast going one so you would of thought the 100cc should perform well.
i would rather not spend the extra money but if i have to i will due to the calibrata giving higher rpm’s at top end.

oh yes of course i would need to fine tune it a little with the rollers,…[Lees meer]

Hi

well i haven’t tried it yet as i still have the engine in pieces because i am putting the frame together.
seeing as though i have a vario i bought the exhaust thinking it would be good for top end as i do not require it to perform on take off due to the transmission i have.

i just heard that it wasn’t a good performer on other engines…[Lees meer]
