Re: corsa won't start

Thank you for all of the information and tips/suggestions, I really appreciate it and all of you. I have work all day today but I'm off tomorrow so tomorrow I will do everything that was suggested. Currently premixing at 32:1. Going to empty the gas tank and put some fresh gas in there to make sure ...

Re: corsa won't start

Yeah just can't seem to figure out why it won't start. I have compression fuel and spark. Have tried two different intakes as well as 2 different carbs. Did the leak down test. I'm out of ideas

Re: corsa won't start

Its been a long time since I did a compression check on that motor but if I recall the compression zone for that engine is 120-160. Your at the lowest end so your prob going to have to open that top up and take a look. I doubt it is the intake. But I could be wrong. Think that's the only option at ...

Re: corsa won't start

Retightened the head bolts to 8 foot pounds in a cross pattern. But yes 120 compression does seem really low, especially since I have a malossi stuffer crank as well. If the engine is flooded wouldn't the spark plug be wet every time I remove it? What else can I do to check if the engine is flooded ...

Re: corsa won't start

Did you clean the jets to make sure there is no obstructions? What is the idle screw set at on the carb? I ran nearly an identical setup except with a pg long andi think I was running a 34 pj or close to it. Did you try putting some premix in the spark plug hole the try it? My corsa started with al...

Re: corsa won't start

I was talking about how much to make the leak down tester. By chance do you have multiple flywheels or have you ran the motor with that setup before? The af16 and af18 flywheels are difrent. I just saw another member with that issue recently. His bike was getting all what yours is but it would not ...

Re: corsa won't start

Have you trid to see if the spark is consistent? It may spark then miss for a few sparks then spark again. Maybe go lower idle jet? Thats strange, if spark is consistant its not eletrical and if it gets fuel to the bowl it should start. 120 compression is good, those leaks shouldnt keep it from sta...

Re: Building a SpreeDio with Jumps

Which studs would that be? And what was your method for finding the leaks? I have a feeling mine is leaking somewhere around the base gasket like yours cause it won't start.

Re: Building a SpreeDio with Jumps

How did you find all of your leaks? I have a few leaks that I need to fix. And did you end up using the stock bolts after realizing you needed to torque them more than manual specs or did you go with aftermarket bolts (bolts for the bore and head).

Re: Problems with corsa round 2

Going to purchase a 24mm polini and see if that fixes the problem. My scooter was running well but I feel the 24 OKO was making run a little odd at times.

Re: Problems with corsa round 2

Hey guys! Finally ended up getting my motorcycle (2014 ninja 300 non-abs) and I've been riding it ever since. Riding a motorcycle has been really fun and I think I'm looking to upgrade soon! Woooo! Been really busy with work and school so I haven't had time much to work on my scooter. Was running fi...

I voted for ped. There's no way he shouldn't win this.

Re: Who should win the King Jeff Arrow pipe Giveaway? {NSFW}

I just think this is a little unfair because Ped was clearly in the lead before the poll got accidentally reset. And now after the poll got reset it's tied. Give the pipe to Ped. If not for the reset, he would've won by a big margin.
