Tioga246 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm glad I never gave up on this bike.... And to have felt the pull on it, after many months of frustration was a amazing experience haha... I'm far from done with this bike.... Still have not taken back in the road.... And did the research on the plug cut - cut plug speak plug test... Weather not good today here but will do it soon thanks... Been waiting for these fancy MSlaz 150s to race.... You don't know how many times I had to let these Wave100s go past me coz my bike was that poked... And wish I new how to send pics on here...I have the green and orange one... Similar colours to some Sp.... And noticed my back end of the bike is raised.... I want to keep it like that as it looks better in my eyes and I'm not going to be touching the road with my knees when corning...... I know it makes Ur back end lighter and can cause accident..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 A 150 cubic centimeter displacement four-stroke is not the same as a 150 cc two-stroke. [see post #63] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Quote 150cc 4T ≠ 150cc 2T Strange that when they replaced the 250 2-strokes in MotoGP they had to go to 600cc 4-strokes. Maybe the lap times have got better but they were slower in the early years and 250 cannot develop any further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tioga246 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hey guys.... Still have not got round to doing the spark plug check.... But I was at the machanic yesterday and today.... Once again playing around with parts.... Apparently I have a Npro carb on.... Changed the muffler again.... Tried a different RC cdi and the cdi for spark plug.... And now he saying my exhaust is clogged up... Goose neck part... Now I can believe that but need to ask why I always find water on top of my needle and slide when there has been no rain.... So that's water mixing in there.... So today I made a Coke bottle fuel tank with new fuel and hooked it up.... Disconnected my RC valve cables and left it in the middle.... I had this bike screaming up and down the road and then my bottle started pissing fuel out.... And looked like it leaked into my casino where my pickup coil is....bike running like shit. My RC valve not working when connected up again and there water on top on my needle and slide..... No rain today.... I was really hoping it was my fuel tank contaminating my fuel with water mixture.... On 03/01/2018 at 9:45 AM, VocalNeal said: ...and there isn't a new NSR 150 of any description.

I was really hoping it was my fuel tank contaminating my fuel with water mixture... I've had water too ! I'm pretty sure its due to condensation from the atmosphere ( not from the fuel) because the "venturi effect" the carb body gets cooler than the hot humid air I've seen it on my NSR and also 4 stroke carb bike here in Thailand. My poor old NSR rrp has sprung a small leak in the radiator, needs a top end overhaul + lots of other stuff...it still runs ( just about) any one want to take it off my hands for 7000 baht ....has green book, tax and insurance till August registered in Chonburi province. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now one more major thing is the stator seems to be weak only getting 9Volts from 1 phase and about 2 volts from the other 2 so the battery won't charge and the lights are dim ☹️ re-bore and parts from this shop in Bahn Ampur / Na Jomtien 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, disagree. What had happened was there was something on the ignition side, cable/earth/whatever/HT/LT that was stopping that plug firing. With every wire removed from a 2 stroke except LT coil wires, that motor WILL run if everything is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said I didn't think/believe it was the battery, I had run it for a couple of years without a battery but had recently put one on ( not new)..so I watched very closely while the mechanic unscrewed the spark plug connected the HT lead again and checked for spark there was none...changed spark plug for brand new one still no spark then he hooked up a new battery and there was spark...spark plug back in it fired up straight away. He said there was an internal short in the old battery....now I'm a believer. 40 minutes ago, thaiguzzi said: With every wire removed from a 2 stroke except LT coil wires, that motor WILL run if everything is in order. What about the CDI unit ? One time the float valve stuck open and flooded the crankcase ( I didn't know that had happen ) and the dam thing would start so in desperation took the carb off to see if the jets where blocked up again for some reason I had the idea to kick over the bike while the carb was still completely removed...it sprang to life and revved as fast as it could go..scared the life out of me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like a weak stator and hence the battery was giving it a bit of a helping hand. Good connections, good cdi, healthy coil & stator, a 2 stroke does not need a battery. Bar Hondas & Yamahas that need one to operate their servo power valves. Kawasaki being sensible and having an utter dependable mechanical pv, no need for a battery. Have you noticed the prices for these 150 type 2 stroke racers inc the SSSA SP Honda? The Kawasaki KRR always fetch top dollar and are always more sought after than the Hon/Yams. Strange that. Innit.
