DodgyBastard Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Is it not oil injection? Adding too much oil can cause lean running and overheating, although I'd be surprised at that ratio.It was oil injection but I removed the oil tank because the previous owner said it had seized for whatever reason so thought I thought mixing it in the tank would be a safer bet.I think it's an electrical issues so have ordered new points, condenser and coil.Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk If the bike has a single oil injection line going to the intake port then running on pre-mix works just fine. On Suzuki's of the same era this will trash the LHS main bearing because that is lubed separately with it's own line from the oil pump and a second line goes to the intake port to provide lube to the rest of the engine. The LHS main has a cover plate fitted which effectively blocks it from any lube mixed with the fuel. They will run on pre-mix but the LHS main has a short life and because of the racket produced by an air cooled 2-stroke you won't hear the hearing rumble until it's on the point of collapse. I'm not familiar with the Kawasaki setup but it's worth checking how many lines go from the oil pump to the engine to make sure that running pre-mix will be safe.

barrett Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I really like the colour of that Escort. A nice reminder that the '90s were, in hindsight, actually quite weird. LightBulbFun, Lacquer Peel, alcyonecorporation and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty cool but I did have to sacrifice my yz250 for it which was a much better spec and much faster.I think I made the right decision, as much as I enjoyed thrashing it around quarries it was getting a little bit boring going to the same places.Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk Dirk Diggler and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
