yz85 oil question
royceymon@hotmail.co.uk:
not sure where you are on the needle , in simple terms the higher the eclip on the needle the less fuel lower the e clip on the needle more fuel ,start standard check the plug colour work on unless its tuned id start with standard settings , filter not overoiled or covered with crud ,standard plug? air screw standard?
please dont think i am being condescending in any way ,not sure how up on 2 strokes you are

Hey royce,
I know a good amount on 2 strokes. Right now im at the 2nd needle clip position from the top and im wondering if the 5th(bottom) position is richest then should I go to #1(top)position to try to lean out so theres not a ton of oil pouring out the exhaust? The air filter is a new uni filter with a lot of sticky oil on it so I should clean that off Im guessing? The spark plug is black...air screw is 2 or 2 and a half out...not sure...

[/quot set all to standard work from there too much oil in filter same as dirty blocked filter black plug /rich main too big? too much air set air screw at standard clean plug ,warm up bike hold on fast tickover adjust airscrew till revs rise then backoff a smidge ,have you tried a plug chop??does the bike get well thrashed or run slow? is the fuel fresh/high octane? if you have to put the clip at the leanest position the jetting cant be right/have you had a leaking needle in the carb crankcase got loads of fuel in ?

so basically your saying I should clean the air filter and set all the settings to stock? Ill look up the stock settings but if I cant find them Ill look in my manual tomorrow. Ill look on youtube on what you were saying about the tickover thing? Whats a plug chop? I rev all my bikes a lot and Im waiting till my friends and I can drive so I can go offroading a lot. Right now Its the occasional lawn and driveway riding or up the street. I like speed though! The fuel in the bike is fairly old and shows moisture in it. Its 32:1 93 super gas. Im not sure about the needle leaking. The bike never really leaks gas at all but the kx drips some. I want to buy new exhaust packing for the bike but I dont want to buy it then it get soaked again with oil.

sometimes if your havin probs its best to start again ie set all back to standard and start from the begining ,fuel go's off fairly quickly spesh if for arguments sake you have half a tank of fuel , the tanks vented i cant remember what shell told me but it will go off ,its realy about going through a methodical fault finding process ie fresh fuel,check oil ratio,check is the plug the correct heat/type ,check .not being rude but around the lawn/drive or blips up the street will not get the same affect as riding a track ,might not even get up to running temprature ,even when im warming my bike before riding it still needs a good clear out for the first part of the lap to then run correctly ,dont recon you will get it running right until your on a track! just my opinium not gospel. plug chop do a google search if your not confident i wouldnt try it......sorry for the spelling done in a rush!
