Jim with the old crap Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I got a suzuki vl125 and it's slowly killing me. I bought it as a non runner replaced cdi . New coils new plugs new leads ans caps ans boom running perfect. I left it I garage fuel off and carb drained over the winter and then wen summer came I primed the carb and it wouldn't start. I took carb off cleaned it up and then the bike started. It ran fine and then I left it for 2 weeks then went to take it for its mot to start using it as a daily and it was misfiring on cylinder 1. Tried the usual swapped plugs coils etc and no diffremce still cylinder 1 misfire andits hard to start sometimes no spark on cylinder 1 at all. Playing with it again after 6months I bought a new bike to use in meantime. Wen I pull the ht lead with the bike running then spark jump the gap and cylinder 1 bursts into life. I thought ahh fuel may not be feeding front cylinder, pull lead fuel builds amd then it fires it... so I bought a new carb as old one wasn't very adjustable as screws were jammed solid. New carb same problem it's not fuel feed its gotta be timing ??? Right . But how and anyone experienced anything like this . I'm at a loss and I don't wana quit on this bike I'm new to this forum so thankyou in advance anyone that can help shed some light on this damn thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
