ec125 -01 power valve issue?

[Elvis74]

No, because the spring is where the centrifugal device is.
When you open the PV with the linkage engaged, it can happen that the steel ball go out and than you have to open the clutch housing and repair this.
In my opinion there is a carb problem and no PV.

 

[Nicolas89]

Im talking about the springs up in the cylinder.

Im also into a carb problem but Ive tried 3! Different carbs now!?

 

[Nicolas89]

My best jetting so far is 40 180 and n3eg in 2nd from top. Now its possible to ride it but not as good as it should be.

 

[Elvis74]

Way too lean for a 125, there must be something else wrong.

Doesn't act like my bike did does it?

[Nicolas89]

What was wrong with yours?
Would it be acceptable with 45? 48 didnt work at all.

 

[Elvis74]

2 thinks I'm thinking about:

Which pipe are you using, hope not the kat pipe

The 125 had no CDI with 2 settings for rain and dy

 

[Nicolas89]

Not sure what pipe. I have a doma pipe also. Maybe i shall try that one?

It has no switch like my 300 does..

 

[Elvis74]

Yes try it!

 

[Nicolas89]

after todays ride even my girlfriend thinks the bike runs bad in the mid range... and it's the 4th time ever she's riding a bike....

Since I've been doing everythink to the carburator I'm up to order new reed flaps and a piston.

So what year Yz125 piston will fit my EC125 -01?

I've searched but not found exactly what years that will work..

 

[Elvis74]

You don't have to buy a YZ piston, woessner, vertex, wiseco, etc have GasGas pistons. If you don't have a good dealer in Sweden, send mr. Dubronner a email, he is the former German GasGas distributer and has everything on stock

[Nicolas89]

I just wanted to know about the yz piston to see if I could get it cheaper..

but thx anyway

 

[Elvis74]

In Europe a 125 piston cost about 100,-€ no matter which Brand. Before you are looking for a YZ piston, check which geometry you have, the flat top or the dome.

 

[Elvis74]

Is your bike now running???

 

[Nicolas89]

I just got new reed flaps in the mail that im about to mount. I hope it helps out.
Ill keeep you updated

 

[Nicolas89]

Reed flaps didnt change anything..
I bought her a GG 250 2001 to ride on instead.

I'm about to give up on the 125.

as long as there isnt more ideas!?

Have you checked all of the electrical connections for tightness and cleanliness?

I had a similar problem with my EC125 and it was a loose wire connection to the coil. Squashed the connection so it was tight and never had an issue again.

Wonder if a connection was wiggled enough to temporarily fix the issue when you changed the carbs around.

 

[Nicolas89]

I will check.

Yesterday i let my friend ride it to hear his opinion. First he said "it runs like any 125" then i told him to start up his ktm 125 to compare. Then he said "aaaha! Now I understand what you mean, strange"

 

[Zman]

Maybe try to swap the cdi ignition boxes between the bikes and see if the 125 cdi is bad. The timing curves are different but it should let you know if one is bad. I walls agree that you should check all of the ground and electrical connections.

 

[Elvis74]

I would Check the PV mechanism behind the clutch cover as well.
