Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster. Firstly many thanks to all of you that have dedicated your time to posting answers to the truth... Without you all i would have been lost long ago. My most recent problem i can't find the answer for yet.
I have a superhawk R80 (1500km) with SBP Xchamber (200km) and shift kit (700km) running a 9 speed shimano cassette and XT derailleur Pretty sweet when it's going!
When i try and start the MB it will start but it coffs and backfires out of about everywhere it can come out of. I have noticed it backfire out of the air filter, head gasket and exhaust gasket. First i thought the exhaust was blocked so i changed to the stock one and it made no difference. Ran the hose thru the xchamber and it ran thru fine. I pulled the plug (BPR7HIX) and it was all gummed up and black where as it's always been a beautiful coffee tan. It also had fuel on it. I checked for spark. Yep i have that. I checked the magneto and yep that's all in place with the key and turns with the piston as it should.
I tore down my speed carb, cleaned and rebuilt but still the same problem. Checked all my wiring and that's all fine.
The latest thing i replaced was the head. I bought a new one cause i broke the cooling fins off the original. I lost a little compression but it still ran fine. I took it out the day before all this happened and rode 45km with no stress. Rode it to work the next day but when i finished it wouldn't start. I did notice that the tacho was spiking all over the place as it was backfiring and coffing so maybe it's a bad CDI?
I'm really lost for ideas now. If anyone can help i would appreciate it
Cheers
