Sorted the cooling problem (me) Hi all, Well it's been emotional I have been out riding after checking the impeller I have took all replies on board and the majority of you (all) was right. I think I was over thinking things for example checking for noises when idling, thinking she was running...

In my manual it recommends the NGK BR8ES plug ?? Maybe I will try the EG plug instead and see if that helps. I did wonder now the air is getting colder it will mean my pilot jet needs changing up to rich the bike out abit. I'm going to take the spark plug out and check the condition I have seen...

This is interesting because now that I think about it this only started happening after I changed the spark plug and needle jet and as it is getting ridiculously hot quickly from just idling I can rule out the needle jet being the cause. I replaced the old spark plug NGK (BR8ES) with a brand...

Hello all, So I was getting the bike ready for my ride next weekend, I put new grips on new headlight bulb etc only small things nothing to do with the carb or engine. I fired her up, she idle nice I blipped the throttle a few times and thought screw it I'm going to ride up and down my drive a...

Thank you for your reply, I'm ordering a new impeller just in case the coolant isn't circulating properly. I'm set to ride her soon so I will do, I intend to hit the power band in every gear. I will continue to monitor the spooge. Thanks Gasser Nate for you're continuous help.

Great stuff, yeah my bike has an expansion tank so I could try the leaning the bike to the right and filling her up method. Brilliant thank you. I can not comment if it is running hot all the time as I have nowhere near me to go and ride, I'm limited. So all I have been working on when making...

Perfect, thanks for the advice. I am taking her through the woods in a couple of weeks and taking some tools just in case I need to change the jets as you say after I ride for a bit. I tried doing wheelies on my first run I've got some good gopro footage I'm editing it's quite funny I suck at...

This is brilliant thank you, so much knowledge and really clearly written I understand the power valve now. Seriously I have watched 3 or 4 power valve YouTube vids and still didn't get it. Jim do you have any idea why my engine could be running at a very high temp just from idling and bliping...

Just a quick noob question before I turn in for the night. Is there only 1 power valve on a ec 300 2004? The reason why I ask this is because the vent where "spooge" is seeping out is next to/below the left valve cover and I thought the right valve was the power valve? All it shows in the...

Oh right hahaha so that's what spooge is I have read it in other threads like spooge from the exhaust etc. Cheers for your reply I'm learning loads on this forum Is there anything you could recommend? Do I need to change anything?

OK cool so it's nothing to worry about? I will do that :) Why was it like black like engine oil not 2 stroke oil and petrol? Any ideas why the engine was piping hot? I was checking the new spark plug and realised it was to hot to touch? Cheers for your continuous help F5, did you read I...

Hi again I've started a new thread as I have a new issue with my bike now she idles perfectly. If anyone on here could take look/read and help I would be very grateful. Thanks again everyone who replied to me regarding my idle issue New problem new thread...

Hi all, So I had idling issues which are now sorted thanks to people on here the problem and solution are in my other thread. http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25700 But now I have another issue now she is idling perfectly. I started the bike up after changing the jet needle...

Sorted the idle problem To anyone who has the same issue with their bike not idling, although it could be many different things for me my bike would not idle, I changed the pilot jet lower and higher I changed the main jet lower to no avail but after riding her for a few hours and her dying and...

Maybe you was right, I changed the needle and put a fresh spark plug in and she idles perfectly. I don't know if it was the new plug or the recommended jet needle but it's worked and I'm so happy so thank you.
