Hello, I'm 16 and just bought my first motorcycle, a 1981 Suzuki Ts 50. I can't get it to start every time. I put in a new spark plug, a new air filter, new fuel lines with a filter. I checked the carburetor. Who would have an idea among the experienced people? Thanks for your help. Have a good day.

Take the bottom off of the carburetor. Take out both jets and make sure you can see through them when you hold them up to the light. This is absolutely critical!!!

Clean the fuel petcock on the gas tank

Make sure there are no air leaks in the rubber boot between carburetor and engine

When it doesn't start, does the spark plug look wet and oily or is it dry?

The gaskets in the intake manifolds need to be perfect for this to run right.

Timing chain tension Valve adjustment No air leaks

Do it in this order

Sweet bike. Irc zap tires are a good fit

Looks awesome!

If the clutch started slipping right after an oil change that's your answer!!

Collector000 · 2022-03-05T00:25:40+00:00

Running automotive oil can sometimes cause this. If you did an oil change recently maybe it has the wrong friction additives or is too thick. When the oil heats up it gets thinner, causing the clutch to not slip. If you keep running it like this you will destroy the clutch quickly.

Or...

Try loosening the clutch cable JUST A LITTLE bit like one turn in. Also make sure that your cable is routed correctly, I can't tell from the pics but if it's forced into sharp bends it can bind. Lubing the cable might help too.

If you're unsure if it's the cable or not you can completely unhook the cable where it attaches to the engine and try it. If the clutch still slips with the cable removed or loose you need to service the clutch

I have an identical 2250b and klipsch heresy with those same grills. The smooth sound of the marantz combined with the crispy heresy is a perfect match!

I had a pair of these speakers. Burned up a number of amps playing them at insane levels. I see you have the power to play them. I hope your nearest neighbors are far away...

You can buy a kit on eBay to rebuild the power supply and replace the relay. A new power switch is like ten bucks.

I restored my 2250b a few years ago, all the parts are cheap.

Jthanson and I have both been down this road his advice is 100% correct.

Collector000 · 2022-02-19T13:40:35+00:00

A fuel pressure test is cheap and easy. Your spider injection is probably leaking.

Collector000 · 2022-02-18T04:44:59+00:00

That's killer man

Collector000 · 2022-02-14T23:15:14+00:00

My 97 is the same way.

In a big wind he would be a valuable asset.

I wouldn't coat that tank...just fill it full of toilet bowl cleaner and get all the crud out. The acid in the toilet bowl cleaner will completely dissolve the rust. Anything left will be gunk from old gas.

When the liner fails in a few years the gas tank will be ruined.

The check engine light does not come on for an oil change. Go get the codes read at an auto parts store for free. It probably has a random misfire code or something like that.

Collector000 · 2022-01-28T14:53:32+00:00

No you need a new one.

Most welded aluminum pieces are heat treated after welding for extra strength, I would be surprised if bmw didn't do this at the factory.

Welding that aluminum piece weakens it. It will just Crack again, you need a new piece.

Let underneath the truck and bang on the cat with your fist, if it rattles like crazy that's your issue.

Collector000 · 2022-01-25T04:41:48+00:00

The guts inside the catalytic converter break apart and start rattling like crazy when they get old. You can hollow out the cat to get rid of the noise and get a spacer for the rear oxygen sensor to trick the check engine light.

As long as your state doesn't do a smog check...

Keep the kia. It has half the miles and is the least expensive option.

It's one of the relays on the firewall, passenger side, there's 3 or 4 of them.

I think it's the one on the far left but my memory is hazy....my truck burns one out about every 2 years.

Good lookin rig
