Petrol Problem

Today i want to share recent problem which i faced when goes for Gujranwala from Lahore. When i was on the way back my bike start missing on low speed. Many times engine goes off and i have to start it. There were many thoughts in my mind, which i will share with you

1) Bike was standing outside home in heavy rain, i thought water goes in carb and that is the cause.
2) Engine oil was needed to be changes.
3) I never goes to mechanic for tuning but that time i thought may be bike need some tuning.
4) I feel throttle cable hard enough.

Very next weekend i washed my bike, give lubricant to throttle cables, check and release petrol from carb, wash air filter and bring my bike on the road for try. Unfortunately problem was the same and i was worried about engine performance.

Later a thought came in my mind that some time when we pull choke bike starts but for longer period it is not recommended. Choke increases the petrol quantity and help to start bike in cold.

I check choke lever and found that i was pulled somehow. Bring it back to its original position and try it again on road. Problem was just resolved. Now my bike is running fine and i am not worried.

Over hauling at 5000 km

Following activity was performed, when speedo meter touches 5000 km milestone.

I have taken snapshots for each step to demonstrate other friends. I hope you will get courage to overhaul your bikes.

Unscrew nut bolt to separate seat from bike, see rust here.

Before separating fuel tank stop fuel supply, separate fuel pipe and remove side tapas.

Get idea to save side tapas, use tie wire.

Use greese at battery to save it from rust

Use hot wire to make hole to insert wire lock

be careful with fuel tank and place it away from fire and childern.
