I'll have to look into that but I doubt it.

An update... I may never know if that relay was bad. When I went to try and get it going I discovered it was STOLEN! I'm kinda sad but even more surprised that someone actually bothered to toss it in a truck and take off with it. I highly doubt I'll see it again and if I do it will probably be just pieces. So much for disc locks!

Tried it with the car running and off and I checked the fuses.

OK so I have a BMS 260 (old carb style) I don't ride it anymore (too unreliable) I'm in between selling it or renting it at the DMV. Today I need to move it to my new apartment. The battery is toast but I've jumped it with my car no problem. For some reason today it won't start via a jump. At first it cranked and I watched the gas being sucked up to the carb. I let it sit for a minute then cranked again but this time it acted as if it didn't have enough juice. Now it just gives a click! Again like it doesn't have enough juice to even turn the engine. Anybody got any ideas?

Yep! The intake has a leak where it connects to the box. I had to modify it to get it to stay on so now I'm gonna take it off and use some rtv gasket maker on it. Took it for a ride short ride around and OMG it feels so unstable compared to my busa. Did get it up to 70 mph on the Speedo with no problems. I noticed when I slowed down that the rpm needle went up to about 10, actual engine speed did not though. Might be because the battery is shot.

Oh lordy I didn't count but at least 2 1/4; I think I did hear some hissing but not really sure. I'll get at it again in the morning.
When I set it at 1700 the rpm's would not come down, infact it would rise but when I set it to 1500 it would come down. Cannot remember if it was fast or slowly; I'll check tomorrow.

Done and working!  Thank you very much! ;D There is still some backfiring but it's running. I tried to get the idle at 1700 but every time I'd get it there, I'd gun the throttle a tad and it would stay at 2500, then rise to 3000 and stay there. So it seems happy at 1500. Surprisingly the fan that I thought had given up the ghost started working again!!  Now the last part is how can I determine if it is "truly" fixed? Last time I thought it was and ended up stranded 50 miles from home, so there is no way I'm going any where on it. |

Its a linhai 250 engine that's had problem after problem. This part happened last year. Put a new carb on checked over everything (valves, idle, etc) hop on and ride 50 miles on the freeway no problems and get off, STALL! Had to get towed home. Today Getting it ready for either sale or renting out at the dmv. I put on a new coil, jump the battery and it starts. Problem is it keeps STALLING every time I give it some gas. There's also some backfiring. I turned the screw on the carb all the way in and then out 1 1/2 turns, same results. I'll put some video up in a few minutes |
