Hi all,
i will try and keep a long story short ( but to explain it properly i don't think i can)
ok, i bought a lifan 125 as a spare motor for when we go away, so one of the bikes craps itself so i put the lifan in, 5 min later it is pouring oil out of the clutch cover, (hope im calling it the right thing, its the cover on the kick start side of the bike,with the small round cover with 2 bolt holding it on), when we get home i take the motor out and take it back to where i bought it from, as it is stuffed out of the box i should have got a replacement, but after much arguing, they give me a new clutch cover, after about 3 weeks(yesterday) i put the motor back in the bike, hit the kick start, no compression at all, took the magneto cover off and turned the motor over with a spanner and plenty of compression, being one of those bikes that only starts in neutral it feels like it is in gear with the clutch pulled in, this motor worked perfectly except for the oil leak, the only thing that has changed is the clutch cover, also the front sprocket is too wide for the chain to fit on but that's another story,
I hope i have explained this enough for you guys to be able to give me some advice on how to get this thing going as its the youngest boys bike and he getting cranky watching the other 2 boys ride lol
thanks heaps guys
