I will have to get back with you on the ring clearance and skirt clearance, have it wrote down but its in the garage, might be tomorrow morning.. As for the bridge clearance...never checked that.whenfoxforks-ruled said:There is not supposed to be fuel in the crank cases, its extremely flooded. Stuck float, out of adjustment, or the float valve that should be replaced yearly? Turn it upside down, or draw it out all that excess fuel. I do not believe I would poke holes in a piston, unless the directions say to, wiseco does. If you ever get the jetting/carb sorted out, replace the silencer packing. What was the ring gap set to? What was the skirt clearance at? What was the bridge clearance set at? Vintage Bob

Is your bike running lean in the cooler weather? Check your plug, and fiddle with the jetting. Hope you do not have to have Dad start it anymore for you. I would sure rub it in on my offspring.

whenfoxforks-ruled said:Service is the cheapest. Unless its detonating/high compression is the only time to need high octane fuel. 93 is about normal. Go to a busy station, run some through to clear out what was left, and hope their tank is not real leaky. If you can get it from an above ground source, much better. Throttle response. Good engine, jetted, clean fuel is all you need. What ratio oil are you running? Vintage Bob
I have never heard of that one, and never would try it. I like the no-toil products. Order the jets from JD jetting, he knows what you're bike needs. Plenty of places online to order 927 cheap, get it by the gallon. If you start really hammering that 125, you might consider running 25:1.

Some say diesel (sorta scares me), and some say dish soap in a bucket.
It was a single ring piston, I didn't even know 125's had 2 ring pistons.whenfoxforks-ruled said:All the oem oils are fine. The HP and Maxima synthetic come to the top of my list, for reasonable oil. That was a 2 ring piston you put in? Vintage Bob
