Hi All,
Been searching over the forums for the last couple of days, So finally decided to join up and seek further advice.
Brought myself a second hand Orion 250cc, Bike started fine, Unfortunately couldn't test ride it due to the location. Brought it home, Fired it up, Idled away, So took it for a ride.
As soon as the bike gets to higher revs, It bogs down and dies, Thought the carby was the issue so have cleaned it out, Changed plug, and tried again. Same issue. Tried to dial in the carby, Any adjustment seems to have no improvement(Changing it from current settings causes it not to start) Have checked for leaks around the carby, Also pulled the plug to see a white / yellow spark, Spark plug also when pulled was pitch black / wet. Also noticed that the bike is hard to start when hot. (Adjusted the Valves, Fixed that) But managed to flatten the battery so starts fine off jumper leads to the car. Could riding with a flat battery have damaged anything?
Does anyone have any tips on what it may be, or any electrical tests that can be performed on the bike?
