New guy with a problem (big one?)
All,
I'm new to motorcycles, and have a 1990 RT100. It's been having starting problems lately, but I got it for free-how do I complain--right? My right leg is getting much stronger with the 75 kicks to get it going. Anyways after doing some reading on here (reeds(?), plug, top end, etc) I wanted to check ther plug to see what its condition is after the 6-8 rides I have made. When I got it, the plug was new, filter was mint, and oil looked crystal clear. I have since drained the gas tank, and put fresh fuel into it as well. I pulled the crankcase oil dipstick to check the condition of the oil------and gas poured out! A bunch of it was just flowing out!!!!! I'm mechanically inclined (trucks/cars), so I'm no fool, but I've never seen this before. What's this mean? I'm still in the process of getting a manual. Please help this new guy out!
