reeds replaiced and yet another plug now onto the last of a long list a BR6ES and still not quite there its now riding the best it has done seems we have sorted the missfire my mate suggested we take it to where he works and pressure test the cylinder....which we did tonight and no great suprise its down on pressure according to the haynes manual it should be 160 ± 44 PSI and we got a reading of 105PSI quite a way off the mark the general opinion of my mates is ride it till she packs up then deal with the piston and barrel but i dont lnow if i can cope with it still not being 100% its not dangerous just FU**ING Annoying and yes im aware its a old 2 stroke so the power will be down after 20+ yrs ....just before somebody points that out lol

excellent advert i am quite jelous tho that the kids bike is better looking than mine

got me self some BR7ES plugs which are NOT iridium and she runs/rides better but still missfireing (not as bad though)so had the reeds out and 1 side is not seating properly so that is the next thing to replaice....its sooo annoying being so close but so far from being right
-
i have used the chatbox the only reason i dont use it more often is the wireless connection in my house is rubbish so i cant keep up with the chat -
yes new plug aswell according to my local bike garage and the ngk website she needs a BR9ECS which i am using but i have also read on the 125 forum that she should have a BR7ES the difference between the 2 plugs is the heat range and the BR7ES is irridium

the coil pack and spark plug lead are all 1 unit which was brand new off the shelf 2 weeks ago

thanks for the support guys im feelin loads better the man flu hasnt beat me this time as far as the bike is cocerned other than painting the tank i have got a misfire she ticks over sweet as a nut but as soon as you put it under any pressure the miss firing happens shes had new coil pack and correct spark plug (br9ecs) ive cleaned the carb and set it in accordance with the haynes manual not sure what to try next
