thequietman Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wife recently got the bike serviced. It came back worst than it went in. Bike too hard to start. Petrol goes around spark plug when you take it out to look. Put new spark plug, bikes goes for a week and then same thing again. What could be wrong??? Many thanks for your advice. Bike is a kick start suzuki smash. Going great until she gave it to one of the local cowboys and now its crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Unburnt fuel suggests you are not getting a spark. Maybe bad lead. Try a different cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualbiker Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Maybe they tweaked the Carb! Sent from my XT1032 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Bike is running rich Which is why your able to go a week then the plug is overwhelmed/fouled Have someone adjust your carb properly & you will be fine Edited May 16, 2014 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Is this bike fuel injected or carb? OP said Suzuki Smash So probably Suzuki Smash 115 = carb I think new Shooter & Raider are FI Thanks Mania. I was unclear on that. Saw something online aboot injected 125cc Smash but I guess they are available only in Philippines or Indonesia, not LOS. New Raider is still carbed, unfortunately. Among the little bikes, I think Suzi leads in styling. OP posted : "Petrol goes around spark plug when you take it out to look." I was unsure what he meant by that. Thought maybe he meant it was wet, rather than fouled. Rich mix or too 'cold' or improperly gapped plug frequently leads to carbonaceous fouling; poor spark to wetness? One or the other, or both. I was also unsure if the referenced 'cowboy' was a rider, or the mechanic. Edited May 18, 2014 by papa al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
