timing issue
hey stig,
ya the advice above is sound. but, what you said sounds exactly what happened to me, i'll explain. i did a full rebuild on my 92 xt because 5th gear moaned and it was worn, when i rebuilt the engine it sounded just like yours, now, it turns out it'll run ok (ish) when your out one tooth on the cam, but it'll be a lousy starter... i removed the chain and bought a new one... when i compaired the two chains there was a bit of streching in the old one as expected, but i was wrong putting it together and also very lucky not to damage it at all... but the new chain with the correct timing made it humm with awe.... get yourself a timing light and remove the timing screw, all the instructions for this are in the clymer manual,
i really hope you get to the bottom of this, if you want to put some two stroke oil in with the petrol to lube the moving parts of the carbs, theres a chance your floats needle might be getting worn too... and also the sliding barrell in the secondary carb, the oil helps troubleshoot this before total dissasembley ....ken
