I just brought a old suzuki ts 125 78-79 model not a 100% as the dude I got it of only told me it was a suzuki had to find out for me self. Anyway it only starts sometimes if I put fuel down were the spark plug goes, it's got spark the carby has been cleaned twice the tank has been drained and cleaned( possible stail fuel) checked wires and all that to check for anything loose but all seems normal. Is there anything I could be missing for why it won't run. Would be good for a confirmation on the make of the bike as well.

The TS 125 was a great little engine and although not the most basic of 2-stroke designs, they aren't the most complex by a long way.

I suggest you try and find a repair manual so you can do your best for what was a great little bike.

The fact it is firing when you introduce fuel into the combustion chamber indicates the engine has upper compression and the ignition system is producing a spark at approximately the right time so there are three things on the list of requirements ticked off.

What it obviously doesn't have is induction drawing fuel from the carb and delivering it to the combustion chamber. If the fuel tank, filter, fuel tap and fuel line is ok, the fuel fresh and the carb clean then induction must be possible so if it isn't happening it is likely something is wrong in the crankcase preventing crankcase compression and a good and strong induction pulse - perhaps the crankshaft seals are perished or defective in some way?

SOURCE: hesitation, stalling like out of gas

Clogged Catalytic Converter. What happens is as you push down harder on the accelerator you force more gas into the system causing a slightly richer mixture and more exhaust flow is neccessary. The easiest way to look for a clogged cat is when it's dark out take it for a ride causing it perform it's problem look under the vehicle if the cat is literally glowing red hot you either have a clogged cat or an extremely rich fuel mixture.

SOURCE: i have a 89 suzuki gsxr 750,it fires but will not

Clean the air filter and, if you have one, remove the water trap bowl on the fuel petcock and clean it. How good is the battery? Install new STOCK plugs. Bear in mind it may be time for carb kits. Other than your cleaning the carbs, the carb kits and balancing and synchronizing of the carbs are best left for the shop to do.

Check the exhaust pipes. If there is a restriction in the burned gases exiting the tailpipe then the bike will not run right, will loose power and even die if too much back pressure builds up. Disconnect the exhaust system and tick off the neighbors with a quick ride around the block without a muffler. If the engine still dies then exhaust is not likely to be the problem.

Check the compression on all cylinders. Depending on the compression, the bike may be ready for a valve job. If you pull the head for the valve job then you might as well consider re-boring the cylinders and install new pistons and rings. Bear in mind, doing a valve job and / or pistons is not recommended for the novice. The good part is that when the work is finished you will effectively have a new engine.

SOURCE: 1999 suzuki 800 maurader misfiring

did this just start all of a sudden or after being stored for a while? if it was stored then try new fuel, check and change fuel filter, and get some fuel system cleaner that goes in the gas tank, run til hot then let stand overnight. and try, old gas can gum up carbs starving the enging of fuel.

SOURCE: honda cbr 600 wont start

hi, each lead has the specific number on it. if you do this correctly then they genrally give you an idea to where the sit in the coils( the way they bend :-) ) also i believe the coils are better off been attached to the frame once you are sure leads are in corect order and possitioned correctly in the coils.i just presumed the coils neaded earthing. make sure battery is pleny charged as a bad battery can just hinder. it is also very easy to flood the bike so just check the plugs again. if they are unusually wet then dry them off and try again . otherwise maybe try cleaning all electics.

hope this somehow helped

Can i fit a Suzuki RM 250 engine on Suzuki Ts 250 frame

Yes. you may need to make some engine mounts to fit the new engine to the old frame, but you will also need to transfer the electrical harness from the RM to the TS chassis.

I have jus brought a ts 100 its a electric ignistion im havin problems gettin it started it has a spark n the lights work jus wont start n when it does can go for 5-10 mins on it then it cuts out n not...

i would say that the only thing that change in 5-10 minute on a bike is temperature...the only électrical thing tha could be affect by heat ( as long as fire is the probleme) is the stator...when heat goes up faulty stator loss wiring continuity and then make no electricity....80% of missfiring since bike where equiped with cdi is cause by faulty stator....

My TS-552U CD-DVD player-recorder is not recognized by Windows 7.

The problem is solved but thanks anyway.

In Google desktop box I typed TS-H552U, just that. I was brought to a page with multiple choices and the third one said "Pilotes pour TS-H552U". I clicked on it and it brought me to Clubic.com from which site I downloaded for free the driver.

It's that simple, although I found it a bit tricky to retrieve this driver for installation. I don't think that you will experiment any problem but, if so, I will be glad to email you the detailed procedure.

Thank you for the follow-up message, I appreciate.

Best regards.

Moe.
