Hello all,
I got a few questions. I am new to the dirt bike scene. My nephew purchased a Roketa RDS-200 about a year ago. He ran the poop out of it. He was going through a dust patch and the bike died. Never started again.
I took it apart and I found the valves kinda stuck.. I cleaned the entire engine and put it back together. Now it sounds like it wants to start, but never does.
My question is.. is there a way to adjust the timing on these bikes?! I can't find anything on that..
Also - it's getting gas, carb was rebuilt. Spark is good, new plug as well gap'd .. Just wont turn over. Fuses are ok.. ANY IDEAS?
ALSO!
I got a steel on a DB36! Either that or a "hummer".. they look the same.. This is my bike that I ride around now. I am getting some noise from the motor. I checked the owners manual. It mentions something about if you hear noise from the engine - it is the "AIR VALVE".. and you need to adjust them.
I can get steps 1 and 2 done. It says to remove the caps on the left hand side of the case, and turn the crank till you see TDC.. I got that part ok.. but the next step says take the two caps off the head and adjust the gap... only problem is I don't see any "caps" on the head at all that I can remove...
can anyone help me with these questions!?
I am going to surf this site now. I've seen some cool things on here and great ideas. I plan on being a on here a ton in the coming months! :)
Thanks !!
I'll try posting pics here.. they are from Myspace so not sure if they will come up..
