Well said PSR sir.. Very true!

Some Pics please. been following the thread, i would love to see the output of the hard work.....

Bro is this the one from AT Boxer? If it is, then its an oversize. Guess you already know this. Mine is running with the boxer lamps.

Updates Rookie?

If this is the exact same tail lamp you have it must not be OE if you say its oversized. OE tail lamps of KB and boxer AT are the same.

boxer AT has a Small square tail lamp , but kb100 and boxer AR have the same tail lamps

oops! my bad! i meant the AR . Thanks for correcting me.

Hey Rookie...whats the status? Has the beast been rebuilt. I have a sneaky suspicion it'll look nasty!

yes it not OEM a kawasaki gto 125 tail light price is 1.8k Pkr in Pk

check the restoration of GTO125

interesting , i bought it for rs 110/-

Help...

For those of you who have been following this thread...my sincere thanks.

Now the disappointing part - the bike is still not a runner. I need help in the form of advice.

After rebuilding the engine and installing it on the frame, I decided to start the engine before proceeding further. I kicked it a few times and what I noticed was that the engine is backfiring through the venturi of the carb. A few phone calls to a few trusted mentors - KB100, Muthu Anna and some research on the internet has given me the impression that the air-fuel mixture is extremely lean and the engine is firing too much in advance. This means that either the fuel supply is restricted or that there is a massive air leak somewhere.

I changed the CDI but to no avail; so the problem is not in the electricals. I'm getting a good fat blue spark - so that is not the problem either. I've changed the pilot jet but the problem persists. I've checked the position of the disc valve - its exactly as the workshop manual says it should be ie the window on the valve should open when the piston is in the compression stroke and it should close a little after TDC.

Let me also tell you the different combinations of starting techniques that I have tried.

Choke open + no throttle - engine backfires through the carb after every third or fourth kick. Kicking is extremely hard.

Choke open + one-fourth throttle - absolutely nothing.

No choke + no throttle - absolutely nothing.

No choke + one-fourth throttle - absolutely nothing; kicking is relatively easier.

So that leaves only the air leak to be checked. What complicates matters is that I have no way of checking the compression. Will see what I can do tomorrow. Will look forward to your comments.

Meanwhile, Muthu Anna has sent me a mail and I'll check everything he has asked me to.

All dressed up and nowhere to go...now who said that? hmmm...

fouled plug......maybe

Finally we get to know the update Rookie. If the rotor position has not been tampered with, there is no question of the timing being off. Im sure Muthu sir and Sarin will diagnose the exact problem.

what plugs are you running the kb uses bosch W5DC plugs the threaded portion will be longer ,

I have the W8DC. I know its hotter than what is recommended but the W5 is not available in my area. Will head to Karol Bagh tomorrow to hunt for the plug.
