"think" this is a differrent forum, figure more folks advice couldnt hurt.
So i took my first major road trip today.
34 miles. I know not very far compared to some of you folks. But anyway good for me since im new to motorized bikes.
I do a lot of work on cars so when i heard this noise my mind filled with dread.. it sounded like the engine was "almost" seizing, it would screech/squeek, felt like it was stalling, then resume normal operation.
I pulled everything off the bike that might be rubbing on say the tire, just to make sure i was actually hearing the noise from the engine, sure enough, that is definately where it was coming from.
I am not to familiar with 2 strokes however..
Is the engine toast or would adding more oil to my gas, stop this problem.
I made the engine run leaner by adjusting the carb to the #3 because of my high altitude, (really improved performance so im sure THAT was a good idea) so maybe now that there is less gas, in a 2 stroke that means less lubricant also correct?
Will adding more oil revive the motor/stop this or is it toast?
I was running 32:1 ratio with good quality 2 stroke oil (Not outboard oil either)
Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I was actually trying to NOT run "WOT" to be honest. i was only going about 20.
3/4 Throttle..
SO is it trashed then or...?
Ill add as much more info as i can, engine sounds fine when clutch isnt engaged, and even when it is most of the time it wounds fine, but sometimes, it makes the screech noise...
Thanks for your time folks. I really appreciate all the help I've been getting form these forums.
