Spark plugs are right color- due to 'drag pipes your bike no longer has the 'backpressure' required and this will result in pops and backfires when throttle is 'let go'- put factory pipes back on and it'll probably run like a champ-those hondas run forever-just don't **** around with factory specs-they don't respond well-if your lookin for a Harley sound-buy a Harley-if you want cheap reliable transport-leave your honda stock, good-luck.

SOURCE: starts and stays running with choke on. stalls

Pay special attention to the parts in red. DO NOT mix parts from the front carb with parts from the back carb. When removing adjuster screws and jets, count the number of turns to remove them, write it down, and replace with the same number of turns.

Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock. www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrandand/parts.aspx

Go to this site and you can download a free PDF service manual.
www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp Most all of the manuals are in English but some are not. There is no way to be sure without doing the download. You can always delete it if in a foreign language.

SOURCE: Honda CG125 stalls when choke closed

Hi mate, what you want to do is take a dump in the petrol tank. This usually cleans the carb out with your **** and works surprisingly well.

Any chance there was any old fuel left in the tank when you started messing with it. Most fuels have ethanol blended into them. After about 2 months ethanol blended fuels go through a phase separation... meaning the ethanol separates from the fuel and starts eating it's way through just about anything made out of rubber. I had an old work chainsaw that sat with a tank full of fuel for about 2 years. When I picked it up the fuel filter was rattling around inside the tank ... the hose had completely dissolved. The short section of fuel line between the tank and carb was like putty. In your case, I would want to make sure all the old fuel was drained out of the lines before tearing into anything else.

I had this saw tuned up a few years ago and put it away. I added new fuel (40 to 1 mix) took out the spark plug and checked the gap.025 and didn't even have to clean it. I set the choke to full, made sure...

I don't know the plug number. Off the shelf chain saw plug from small engine repair shop will replace existing plug.

First of all, are you getting spark?
Take out plug. Put spark wire on plug. Hole plug by spark wire. Touch metal threads of spark plug to metal part of engine block. Metal to metal. Pull cord. Look for spark between metals. If there is no spark, then spark coil is bad.

Look at exhaust port. Is there anything that would stop the exhaust from escaping?

Can you get to fuel line running into carburetor? See if gas makes it all the way to the carburetor.

Can you get to the air filter? Is it dirty? Can you spray WD-40 directly into carburetor. A saw that has good exhaust, spark and compression will fire on WD-40.

If your engine can fire on WD-40, but will not stay running, then carburetor is suspect. Maybe gum out will work. Try to keep the engine going on WD-40 and see if that opens the carburetor.

If you can keep engine going on WD-40, that takes both hands ... use your third hand to move choke and throttle levers and see if the engine can start on its own.

Upvote if this information helps. Thanks for the feedback.

Start the engine it runs on choke and then dies

Check fuel mixture. Be sure you used the can with MIXED fuel and not straight gasoline. If fuel is OK then check mixture screws on carb (the two that are side-by-side). If no limiter caps present on mixture screws, turn them one-quarter turn (1/4) counter clockwise and try again. DO NOT go crazy with these. If they have limit caps on them take the unit to a servicing echo dealership.
