There's nothing wrong with my bike

Post by trxify » Sat Jul 24, 2010 12:06 am

I'm lying, it's only running on one cylinder (yeah i've checked the blah and swapped the yadda yadda for another one,) carbs you say? electrics? wot the coil? the p/up coil? OH PANTS, i've tried all that and the valve gaps etc, advice would i'm sure be forthcoming from you great people all over the the place but i'll sort it eventually by a process of elimination or whatever, the trx is probably the most interesting bike i've had (yadda-yadda) but there's definitely a bit of setting up required. If only i was'nt so poor i could throw some money away and get an intelligent person to fix it for me during his (or her) man better looking/dressed than me break, i've owned,rented,despatched bikes 20 years and now that i'm a ahem middle aged man my head knows i should be on the cbr but i get it and any bike with true character has to be worth the aggro, this motorcylce is a pain in the ass and i may well set fire to it but i'm still glad i've got it, gotta go i'm bustin for a piss

if you've got compression, fuel and a spark (presume thee are the things you have checked) the only issue can be that the spark is in the wrong place.

Try swapping over the l;eads from te coils. Tried a different CDI?

Thanks all, i have replaced the plugs a couple of times,compression is good,inlet rubbers replaced, it's sparking ok((another spare coil used) carbs have been stripped and cleaned (not too worn inside-no holes in diaphrams etc) CDI is next on the list when time permits

If it's running on the r/h cylinder, just chop the left half of the engine off, instant sports single, lose 30+kg.

Sorry for delay (been away), yeah i changed the coils (again) and plugs (again) and fuel pump,then re-routed the vacuum lines.
It may have been a combination of all of the above or one thing only but it's sorted and going like it should. :D
