Hard to start kawaski barako 175
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
A known common issue with the Barako with either the kick or electric version specially when cold, in the early hours of the morning or if have not been used for some time. A couple of
initial ideas to try:
- leave the petc0ck open (even overnight);
- before starting, twist the throttle a couple of times;
- use the choke;
- you may be interested to explore the possibility of modding the carb with one from an Eliminator.
In most instances,
tyagaan lang yan but of course is a pain
pag nagmamadali.Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
Need to know the valve clearence on my 2005 klx 125
Here is some rule of thumb specs
intake should be between .003" to .005"
exhaust should be between .006" to .008"
When it's set right, it should feel like pushing a butter knife through butter right out of the fridge, also be aware that sometimes the lock nut can either tighten the clearance or loosen it.. This is a job to really take your time on
Carb overflows when not running
Im not familier with your specific bike but here are some ideas:-First check the float valves, these are usualy in the bottom half of the carb. Take the bottom off, and you will see a plastic float, attached to the float will be a small bullet shaped piece of metal with a rubber coan on the top (may have to remove it to see it). Remove the float & the valve, make sure there is nothing stuck on the float valve rubber tip, and nothing is in the hole where the float valve sits.If this looks ok, next check the float levels, you may need a Haynes manual or similar to find out specificaly how you do it as you may need measurements.Dont panic, this is a fairly simple thing to do (trust me Im no expert), you will need to repeat this process on all the other carbs (if you have more than 1)You can also check your vacume valve (if you have one). Its a small pipe that connects from the carbs to the peterol tank (This is an additional pipe to the fuel pipe), this creates suction when the engine is running opening the fuel tap on the tank, letting fuel flow, if the tap is stuck, or the vacume pipe is damaged this could allow fuel to flood the carbs, (shouldnt if the float valves work correctly, but worth a try)I hope this is of some help....
How to remove the rear axel
Press the caliper against the rotor while holding the rotor from inside not to bend it.Unbolt the rear axle's bolt and pull it out.Move the wheel a bit to the front to take off the chain and then remove it.
My 2005 klx 125 worked
Fuel running out of your vent hoses is due to your float needle plugged. You need to loosen the carb boots, and turn it to remove the bottom bowl. The float will move up and down and it pushes a needle into a jet that lets fuel into the bowl. If there is dirt in it, it can't stop the fuel.
What oil 10W-40 2 cycle or does it not matter
Your Kawasaki klx125 is a four stroke motor cycle. Do not use 2 stroke oil. Use any oil that is JASO MA certified motorcycle oil . In this case use 10w-40. A synthetic oil has some benefits . Your bike will run cooler and shift easier. Do not use car oil or any oil that says Energy Conserving on the label. These oils will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears ( different additives ).
