Hi there does anybody know if a 1993 climber 280 has got a nikasil plated bore.

Hi thanks for that, the pipe on right hand side has been solderd up for a long time now so no air goes in there.

Hi Dave thanks for your reply I would discount the crank seals as I have fitted new ones and didnt think old ones looked that bad or any signs of leaking, I have fitted them the correct way round. I will take off the inlet rubber and have a good look and let you know. Thanks Kind regards John

Hi steve thanks for your reply I have got over that problem now, my head was polished and had no carbon on it so must have been the plug glowing. When trying different carbs I have also changed the slider to no avail but not the top cap and the book says this should be properly tightened so will try different cap and let you know Thanks John

Hi Australia thanks for your reply your description of the flat spot is spot on, its low down and Im guessing i have to keep revving bike at about3-4ooo revs to keep it going sweet, what do you mean that it may be the pilot stream path? I have had a small plastic pipe on all the places that the petrol should flow and blown succesfully through. I was up your way with my family a couple of years ago on tour in my camper, very nice Kind regards John

Hi all I hope there is somebody out there who can help me, I have several TY 175's that I have had for about 10yrs now one is completely in bits and the other I have never had it running properly in all the time I have had it, it has plenty of compression, been de-coked, new reed valve, plug, points, condenser, crank seals,I have 3 carbs and have cleaned and tried them all. When I got the bike it took about 20 kicks to start it and it was very sluggish and wouldnt tick over, I progressed from this to the bike going into melt down which was a bit frightening, flat out and not being able to stop it, plug must have been glowing as taking cap off didnt help, panic panic saved by key on flywheel shearing, bike back in shed for a while. I have had a bulb on the points and set the timing as close as possible to what the book says, I am running it on 50-1 in the tank and the oil intake on the carb has been soldered up, my strimmer and hedge trimmer love 50-1 and have done for years.So here we go my latest problem is 5 or 6 kicks and it is started with a minute amount of choke and have to keep slighty pulling choke(revving engine) which wants to rev to 10000 revs, have to keep this up for a couple of mins with my bum wobbling and can then control via throttle , bike goes ok over mid revs but over runs, ie it still carries on running for 2-3 seconds after you have shut it down which makes wheelies a tad hard as you always end up running after it.I have reset the throttle needle to what the book says it should be and have cleaned out 3 carbs many times. So is it an air leak? The throttle closes ok in the carb.Can anyone please help me Thanks in advance John
