So the bike was hot going slight incline only 2nd gear and 1/2 the revs. I read somewhere that with this setup with the air screw I should turn it all the way in the 1/2 a turn back (counterclockwise) Could this be the reason its hard to start when warm? it seems fine when its running but...

Hey AntNZ. Ive got the same engine with the same carby. I'm also having a few problems with mine dont know if its the heat in Sydney at the moment or what? I've got a 102 main and 39 pilot fuel screw is 1/2 turn out. the needle clip hasnt changed so what ever it is out of the factory Ive...

Ok double checked them and it is right, I checked the clearances again and they are fine, put it all back together and its still the same. Basically when you go to kick it you find TDC (the hard bit of the stoke when your about to push down) then I try to get it just past that and it is very...

Just wondering if I've done the valves on a different stroke? Could this cause the super tight compression? Ive got the fly wheel at tdc and its pretty loose to move either side. If i rotate it again it gets pretty tight towards tdc. Then springs past tdc by a few mm. Whats the right tdc?

My z160ho is really hard to kick start. I get to TDC and click it just past it to try start it. I need all my weight and really give it some to kick it down. my mate has the exact same engine and its real easy to kick over. I have checked are the valve clearances and they seem to be in spec...

thanks guys, Ill give it a try next time I'm out

Yes checked the clearances and they are fine, if the exhaust valves has moved, spraying aero start or similar would think it would even try to start a little bit? but there was nothing. When I got this engine the bloke said he had changed all the bearings in the case and put better components...

So I was out the other day 38'C+ day and was giving the poor girl a boot full. I stopped the bike to wait for a mate and when I went to start, nothing happened. Heaps of compression, too much my ankle is still killing from kicking this thing. (maybe decomp valve is needed?) We pushed it...

That looks like a real nice bike, lucky you. Im pretty sure that brake attchment is a brake snake, stops the pedal bending back if it gets caught on something. you should be able to adjust it so it can travel and stop the bike.

Hi guys so I got a new gear drum to put into this lifan 140, when I went to put it all back togeather its like the teeth on the selector shaft wont grab properly. Is there a trick or is it worn out? it just seems stuck. this thing is doing my head in. here is a thread on the gear drum as...

Yes I noticedthat my pegs are welded on as well and will not fit :(

OK so I got this drum from china, the thing is competley differant, I think its a 1-N-2-3-4, where as I need N-1-2-3-4, and also the little metal pegs at the end of the new one only has 3, my original one has 4 (at least from memory) also the star is differant, my original one was almost a...

ok thanks guys, will definatley do this, pretty cheap and esy to do so I'll post up when I've done it. thnks

I have that 190 TB cylinder and was going to get the head from Akunar to make it go. but after giving this a wrap with that oKo the thing hauls. It would kind of defeat the purpose of what we use the bike for. Basically after a few cans instead of taking the big 450's out we all jump on our...

No problem I had a look at you site, and am I right in thinking that this would work. How would it attach? do I need to drill and tap, or use the engine mount bolts?
