Hi Guys,
This bike is doing my head in!
So I bought it for $200 described as needing tlc to get it running, as in fuel clean oil change etc, simple stuff.
Bike is a 125cc Semi Auto with electric start and kick start backup.
First thing I did was clean the carby out, put fresh fuel in and went to start the bike with electric start....absolutely nothing happens, no click no nothing,
First thought is CDI so I grabbed a working CDI and put it on the bike, still nothing
Second thought was kill switch so I cut the kill switch wire to bypass the kill switch, still nothing, then I replaced the killswitch with a working one and reconnected the killswitch wire to the CDI....yep you guessed it still nothing. Even replaced the spark plug but because I can't turn the engine or anything I can't even check for spark, this is about as far as my mechanical knowledge goes, I have had some people ask about the stator but am unsure how to check it or what to look for once I get it out.
Tried to kick start but it is jammed, tried to take right crank case off, undid all the screws I could see and still unable to remove right crankcase cover, as if it is painted shut, or I'm missing a bolt/screw somewhere....
Some help would be greatly appreciated before I take it to a mechanic, not really wanting to pay $80 odd dollars an hour, before I know it I'll have spent the same amount as a brand new bike.....
Cheers in advance.
