my 2002 yz 125 will not start, 1 day was running fine and then suddenly started shutting off, replaced spark plug and it ran for 5 minutes and died again, hasnt started at all since. Still has all compression. I don't know what is wrong, i suspect maybe carby, what do yous think?, please help

Maybe if u drain the carby, give the spark plug a good clean and dry and put some new fuel in the carby and see if she fires? just a suggest mate

clean it good

you will probably wanna clean the carb good n then check out to see if there is any thing else wrong like the spark plug may have gone wrong when u bought it(seen it happen)

thats all i can say

too much kickstarting

if you've sat there and tried to start the thing out of frustration you could of worn the pin down on the magneto pull the cassings off and look if so just adjust it so it sparks see ya

maybe the mixture

make sure its not too rich, because if so, cou could be fouling the plug. make sure its got a good mixture n replace the plug should start right up.

solution

USE PREMIUM FUEL, the 2002 YZ 125 will NOT run off of anything else. I have one and have tried many different things to make it run on farm fuel. The only way i found to get one to run on farm fuel is if u put a 2000 CR 250 coil in it. My 125 would do the same thing without premium, just throw in a new spark plug, use Bel Ray mc1 at a 40:1 ratio and ride like hell

great

glad to hear its running good, but be sure to use good mixing oil because i just re built my top end and my power valve was all gunked up, so i cleaned it, and use good oil now and i have loads more bottom end

it could be the spark plug fouling it happened on my bike it would start then die and when i cleaned the plug it wud start then die unless you revved the bollocks off it. I f you arnt really racing the engine like i was it could be the probelm, so i put in a hotter heat range plug (ngk: 6 in the name) and it runs sweet as a nut now.

All ive seen over this websit

All ive seen over this website lately is spark plugs too cold to hot. Run the 8 or 9 will always works.
