Well, I've been staying away from here in a state of depression after my GP125 'project' fell through, then earlier this week my brother-in-law gave me his RXS100, fo' free ;D on the condition that I get it road-worthy with his help.
It's had major power problems since he bought it - it'll fire up and idle fine, but needs beans just to let the clutch out. Then point it at the shallowest slope & it just doesn't want to know. Chucks out a lot of white smoke as well.
Today, we pulled nearly everything off to check, short of stripping the whole block & gearbox. Replaced a couple of split/perished hoses, took the carb apart, removed the cyl head - and nothing to see, at all.
Actually, the gasket inside the carb does need replacing, and there's a tiny leak from where the inlet joins the engine, but apparently that's only just happened so wouldn't account for an ongoing problem. There's a good strong spark, so the electrics should be OK, and we tried every combination of carb adjustment, to no avail.
Any ideas people? It's a '90 if that's any help.
