Yes the fan seemed ok, on and off multiple times. I hope it was just a burp!!

Just changed my engine oil and coolant on my gasser, warming up for about 10 mins squeezing coolant pipes to get any air locks out then a little pop, squirt of water then steam from radiator. Went to stop by kill switch but got BIG electric shock! Got it stopped and cooled down and took cap off but there still seems plenty of coolant in? Any suggestions on what could have happenend?? Has it over heated?? Blown a hole in rad?? Water pump working?? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

I've repaired my full water pump (hardenend shaft, seal and both sets of bearings) for £9. The joys of being in the correct line of business to make precision things

Thanks for your info guys. Iv had the engine case off and the only way the oil will go back in is through the spy glass, so bike on its side and in there then. The seal on the water pump did look a bit worn so going replace that along with both sets of bearings in there and the hardenend shaft I can make at work so hopefully everything will be ok! Thanks again!

I have a 1998 Gas Gas tx 270, its not for sale but I would like your opinions on how much it is worth please. I will upload some photos as soon as I can. It's had new chain and sprockets, front and rear wheel bearings, new water pump and seals, fresh engine oil, basically the bike runs and rides like brand new. Everything has been serviced on it!! The only down side to the bike is there are no stickers left on it to say what it is, the rear mudguard is slightly cracked and the ally petrol tank has a few dents in it. Yes the bike looks rough but runs as sweet as a nut. It would be an ideal starter bike for trials or just a little toy to mess around on. That's all its been used for in the last 5 years or so. Like I said, the bikes not for sale but if you seen an advert describing the bike like this how much would you say the bike is worth?? Thank You.

Think iv found it now, very well disguised but thanks Bilks. Il use a make shift dipstick to make sure its correct hole (had things in wrong hole before, didn't do down well ) Thanks!!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm new on here so I'll apoligise now if I am a bit slow. I have just bought a '98 270 gas gas for cheap off a bloke at work as I used to ride them when I was younger and as a little project to do up. There was many things wrong with the bike but I have managed to repair most of them. I have repaired the original clutch master cylinder as there was a moped one on when I got it. I have bled the clutch but it still drags so I thought il change engine oil to see if it makes a difference. I opened the spyglass and the oil has emulsified as this white goo began to run out. Im going to warm he bike up before draining the oil out through the plug at the bottom to ensure it all runs out. Now my problem is I can not find where I put the oil back in!!!! I have watched Jim at gas gas on youtube and I still cant find it. My only thought is to lay the bike on its side and pour it back in through the spyglass?? If you could help on this problem it would be much appreciated as any other problems I have had, I have just read different topics on here and you have answered my problem. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers Jon
