150cc Hornet not starting By DRuben (Read 5,041 times)

I somehow managed to get a grip at the stud and got it out. I did notice that the valve cover gasket is shot though.

Great!! You can order them TVNACMAN has them and he ships fast. You can also get some ATV silicone at the auto parts store put the old rubber gasket back in and then put a BEAD of the silicone on the outside of the rubber gasket let it dry and it turns into rubber.

I tried the silocone idea already. I got everything zipped up and cranked the bike and let it run and seemed fine until I started to ride it. I changed the oil and cleaned the filter and rode around the block a couple of times and noticed that it was still leaking. I lost almost all of the oil I put in less than 45 minutes.

[Alleyoop]

WOW!! that sucker is really leaking. Is the Valve cover maybe bent or something it should not be spilling out much unless the gasket is really shot on that side.

The gasket was missing like an inch of gasket that I tried to use silicone to fill but it didn't really workout. Its also leaking from the 2 bolts that hold the black tube on the valve cover.

[Alleyoop]

When you used Silicone did you let it dry OVERNIGHT or at least 6-8 hours? It takes that long for it to set into RUBBER. The two bolts your talking about is that the chrome pipe connected to the head right next to the Valve cover?
I don't think it is leaking there that goes to your exhaust side and what that does is SUCK in fresh air. I think it is leaking from the valve there as well and making it look like it is leaking from the two bolts.

Well all i can tell you is order a couple of gaskets and do not run it leaking oil so bad you may seize your motor.

ALSO I just viewed your first video and I noticed your FUEL FILTER is on backwards. The bigger end goes toward the carb. If the bigger end is toward the tank that restricts the fuel from filling up the fuel filter fast enough to then flow to the carb.

I let it sit for about 1 hour, I was being to anxious to ride lol. And I guess yours is chrome but mine is black and I kinda figured it wasn't for oil because of the gasket but I wasn't 100% sure. The fuel filter was that way when I bought the bike and the replacement carb even came with the filter that way. Ill swap it around when I get a chance to work on it again. Also would a bad valve cover cause oil to come out of the spark plug hole. I pulled the plug and it was dry but at the very bottom of the plug (not the hole) after the threads you can see a little oil. I took the black plastic piece apart from the bike and saw oil pooling like it came from the spark plug hole. Im not sure if it came from the hole but it sure does look like it did. I also noticed that the bike had a ticking noise around the head area, it was either the head or by the cooling fan couldn't make out which one. So then I removed the cooling fan and cranked it up and still had ticking, oil level was good at the time. I was thinking maybe an exhaust leak but couldn't really tell.

[Alleyoop]

Well the fuel filter is on wrong PERIOD. If you have oil coming out of the Spark Plug hole you have a major problem. Take a picture of the valve cover area, the ticking could be the lack of oil up by the rockers or your valves are ticking a little. If the CLATTER CLATTER then they are to loose. Little ticking is ok.

Take a shot of the spark plug to see how bad it is with oil or soot.

It will probably be next weekend when I get the pics, but it is a ticking sound not a clatter. I was reading around that oil from spark plug hole was a sign of bad valve cover gasket but that was on car engines. I changed the plug a few weeks ago and it looks like the second plug on here (Dry and Wet Fouling): www.ngksparkplugs.com/tech_support/spark_plugs/faqs/faqread.asp

[Alleyoop]

Which one the WET oil fouling or the first one dry and sooty?
Alleyoop

[DRuben]

The first one, dry

[Alleyoop]

Good then it is just to much fuel. My advice is wait for the valve cover gasket before you start it anymore. Just park it otherwise you will ruin the motor.
Alleyoop

[DRuben]

Will do. I really appreciate all the help from everyone!

I had an oil leak on a 150cc engine , it drove me nuts . It ended up being a cracked valve cover . It was a light crack and very hard to see . I put on a new valve cover problem solved . What got me was the oil was dripping from where the air comes out of the engine shroud on the bottom .

Sorry about disappearing guys then refinery I work at had a fire and pretty much shut down the Diesel unit I was working in. I got stuck working overnight working everyday 12 hours a day to get everything back running. I got the new gasket and got everything back together and rode it around the corner and it died. I know pretty much for a fact that its not pulling gas. I have the fuel pump not the petcock thing and when I pulled the lines off closest to the gas tank it was dry after 30 seconds of cranking. I got new fuel filters and even bypassed the fuel filters to see if it was pulling gas and nothing. Also it has a pulsating vacuum coming from the intake going to the fuel pump, What do you guys think? Fuel Pump?
