November 27, 200520 yr Help my beta is not runnig right Its not crisp at the top end and splutters and on the odd occasion spits a flame out the exhaust. any idea on whats wrong? James
November 27, 200520 yr Author could it be the stator and how much will that cost to replace its an 02 rev3 250. anyone got a flywheel puller i could borrow or know where i can get 1. James
November 27, 200520 yr I wouldn't have thought it was the stator going James, I've heard they either work or they don't work.....take the carb off and clean it out, change the plug and the plug cap before you go pulling the flywheel off. Pullers are not much money from your local dealer (under
November 27, 200520 yr Author local dealer is sammy miller and hes a tight *** so he wont stock 1 i will give the carb a clean i have tried a differnt plug and the carb was cleaned before i took it out(this is the first time i took it out) i have only had the bike for about 5 weeks. but i will double check by giving the carb another clean James
November 27, 200520 yr Author but why is it throwing flames out the exhaust on the odd occasion at high revs
November 27, 200520 yr My friends gasser did that but it was completly fegged, sure you cant remember putting on that flame kit that was posted on forum a few months back ?
November 27, 200520 yr Author its bloddy annoying hopely will solve it. it really annoys you and make u wanna sell the bike
November 27, 200520 yr Author if its still like it after ive clean the carb again etc etc ill have to pull the flywheel does anyone know the standard carb settings for an 02 rev3 so i can check all that. would anyone be kind enough to lend me a puller to see if the key has sheared James
November 27, 200520 yr Author it runs fine up to about a third of the throttle and thn at high revs like misses and doesnt rev cleanly James
November 28, 200520 yr Lots of knowlegable advice here already but I'll echo r2w's suggestion of a broken flywheel (woodruff) key. Unless the carb is completely gooped it's unlikely to cause a severe misfire. Could be electrical (check all wiring for breaks/shorts etc. and swap the plug) but check the key first 'cos it's easy.
November 28, 200520 yr Another vote for the flywheel key. The timing being way off can set stuff on fire.
November 28, 200520 yr Author wouldnt the flywheel key also stop it running properly at teh bottom end tho? because it runs fine until about half throttle. James
November 28, 200520 yr If the flywheel has only slipped a little, it could make the power soft on bottom, but be really noticeable on top.
