Fixing the motor bike

5-Apr-2021 Monday

Drove down to the Balandeen petrol station. Filled the Tiida and a can for the motor bike.  Then into the cafe and bought a coffee.  They had a sign that said bookings only.  Sat in car.  Hotspot.  Sent email to work. 

Fixed motor bike. 

Pumped up rear tyre.

Poured in fuel and it leaked out. Worked out the fuel tap had fallen apart. Took it off and used a hammer and a over size Philips screw driver as a punch to respread the aluminium to keep the tap together.  Reassembled.

Observed no oil. 

Removed bolt and drained remaining oil. It was very black and had lumpy bits.   Refilled with about 1.5Lite of 10W30 that I had brought for the tiida.

Tried to start. Would not. 

Removed spark plug. Observed spark.

Reassembled and now it worked. 

Took off and it worked for about 2 minutes.  Pushed back. 

Felt like fuel blockage.

Decided to inspect and clean the carbie.  Un did some bolts.  In the process of removing the carbie, pulled off the fuel line.  Fuel ran out.  Hmm. Worked out I'd some how buggered up the fuel tap.  H is on.  V is off.

Figured I'd continue - Cleaned gunk out of carbie and Reassembled. 

Now it works. 

The kick start is a bit ordinary. Sometimes it does not grab.

To do

Fix front brake - hydraulic fluid.

Hoses for fuel. 

Spark plug wire.

Dinner is

Chicken pad thai
