Message: [QUOTE="haagendoss, post: 898862, member: 59715"] UPDATE!! The 125 is running better than it ever has! If anyone is having problems similar to those in this forum i'll explain what i did. Mind you it still doesn't have a lot of low end but it is considerably better. First step was a complete top end rebuild, all parts from pitposse.com (excellent prices and excellent service). I was just going to replace the ring because it has been less than a year since my last top-end, but i ended up buying an extra piston anyway... rebuilt top-end,went from stock gearing (13-50 for 1990 model) to 12-53 with a new DID 520 chain, and new NGK B9 Iridium plug. When i got the thing all back together i couldn't get it to start. (i had been having trouble with it starting before the rebuild). After pushing it down the hill and popping the clutch she sputtered and started. long story short, when it would cool down it would go back to hard starting, to the point that i could not start it at all without pushing it. I had checked and cleaned the powervalve when rebuilding, etc. I took the carb off and soaked in carb cleaner, cleaned the reeds and following advice from someone here at dirtrider, put a small piece of teflon tape around the spark plug before putting her all back together. Got it together kicked it with full-choke and she fired first kick. I've started it several times in the last two days and it has started every time! the new gearing is near perfect for the type of riding i do (mostly trails and hills). I couldn't hardly pull the wheel even in first before the change, and now it will pull in first and shifting to second!!! [/QUOTE]
