whirring noise zongshen 250
Hello people, I own the ZS250GS and got a noise at the motor like something loose inside. it sound hardest in idle and cold, otherwise i noticed that the camshaft has some signs of wear, because I can not adjust properly the valves, so I thing the anterior owner run the bike w/ out oil.
![]() wen I bought they have not the noise, (or only a little), and wen I changed the oil, it was full of an sustance brown like wood flour or something. Well, I am not afraid to open the engine and check, but I thing is bad idea because......Were can I find parts. The question is, can I replace the engine for other similar in size with some adaptations? Or can I found engine parts somewhere? Help me please. |

It's based on Yammie. If u had plenty $ to burn, genuine Y... parts may work.
taobao.com + agent seems the most sensible way. One of them: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3469913830

When you changed the oil, did you clean the oil filter in the side of the engine? The filter must go back in correctly, or no oil will get to the camshaft.

I believe there was a supplier in Florida, but I think they've closed the shop.
Taobao is a source for parts, as Humanbeing indicated. Use Google Chrome, visit www.taobao.com and allow Chrome to translate automatically. Search for ZS250GS, and see what appears.
