Totally agreed. Are you using a similar exhaust to other Q owners, or is yours less restrictive?

Should be way less restrictive. Right now I have the Orig OEM Stock exhuast back on - Easy swap - Just wanted to eliminate that as being an issue.

The aftermarket free-flowing exhaust is only an issue if there isn't enough fuel to compensate for the extra air flow. Perhaps a 125 main isn't big enough.

Don't think the Main jet to be an issue becuase I got the same result after putting the Stock exhuast back on. I'm leaning (No Pun intended) toward the spark plug as mentioned - You'll all know by later today or tonight.....Going first thing this morning to pick a few up......Wish me luck!
LMAO - Thats all I can do now is laugh at my Chinese Bike and tell myself it will all be good soon! :roll: |

Thanks for the link. I confess that I still don't get it, and I'm not sure which diaphragm covers the hole. It's not really that important that I understand it, as long as you figure out the correct installation.
I sure hope the spark plug cures your bike.

Here is what My Plug looks like for the most part. I did get 4 new plugs today - Haven't had a minute yet to put one in yet - But will today. Talked to the guys at the local dealer and they said put the OEM Jets back in, and she'll proabbly run fine. I also asked I thought if you upgrade the exhuast to a more free flowing exhuast the general rule of thumb was to rejett. His reply was not necessarily. Depends on how the bike runs. I also asked if putting the oem jets back in and running with the NEW Exhuast would hurt, and they said "NO" Not at all.....So hopefully the stock jets will get me back to normal today - later. Here is the Plug Pic. NOT Mine what what mine looks like:
Andrew - Thanks to all who have commented and made suggestions. You guys ROCK! |

I wonder if something is wrong with the jet you got.

oK HERE IS WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED TODAY - i PUT THE oem stock jets back in - replaced the Plug. I Pulled the air cleaner out and happened to "feel" into the back of the carb and I felt the Spring in the inside of the carb? It felt like it was coming out. So I pulled the whole entire carb off the bike - Pulled both top and bottom apart and carefully put it back togather. All Ports are clear and Super clean (REMEMBER The bike is NEW)
The spring that goes under the plunger was outta wack. Fixed that - made it all lined up and functions and positioned how it is supposed to be. All orphases are clear and clean - I Blew thu everyone that I could.Stock exhuast back on and OEM Jets are in, as well as a brand new plug. If I start the bike COLD and the chocke on I now get a little throttle response without dying. Let it warm up a good ten minutes, and got better throttle response. Was finally able to get the choke the whole way off and able to rev her up. Runs rough but runs with choke off. I AM CLOSE! I Think all I need to to get the AIR MIx screw correct. I am very close and stopped for the day - feeling better about a almost running machine. Just some fine tunning now I believe.....OPEN TO ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS Based upon where I am aaaaat this point. Thanks Guys! Andrew |
