CG125 problem again.... Help please

So i passed my cbt today and decided to go for a ride nothing big just a little one staying local.

On the ride the bike keeps cutting out, here's me thinking im having an issue with my clutch control. But this happened when i had the clutch in and was stationery with the choke fully on.

So from then on i keeps the revs up and gets myself home. When home it cuts off again this time it stays off, kick start wasn't doing anything this was just flooding it. But it then started pissing out all my petrol out of the carb drain pipe. Our only option was to jump start it. This worked!

So the question is what is my problem and how do i fix it? I'm baffled because when it gets going it runs like a dream its just very low revs i have an issue

Any help is appreciated thanks.

 

The bike will not run with the choke fully on (lever all the way up) and the throttle at idle, using full choke you must keep the throttle quite a way open to stop it cutting out. This is due to the simple carb which restricts the airflow quite a bit when the choke is on all the way. The bike ran fine without choke (lever down) for me.

 

Youve left the choke on to long and flooded it . Once your engine is warm knock the choke off

 

ahh okay thanks for that suppose that's an amateur mistake, so its all due to keep choke on it is just letting too much in at once and basically suffocating?

 

sorry for simple talk makes it easier for me hahaha

 

Yeah basically, on more modern bikes the choke is a more complicated system that enriches the mixture without restricting the airflow but the CG has a simple butterfly valve that blocks the airflow and raises the mixture ratio, you have to keep the throttle open to keep it going. It does run alright on half-choke but I found I rarely used the choke except on very cold mornings or if it had been standing for a while. It usually started fine without choke and once it has warmed for a while it'll ride fine.

 

Okay thanks for that tom i should of asked this really that makes a lot of sense now me being an idiot hahahahaha

 

Other then that was a fun ride im made up

 

Sorry, bob has just mentioned then he was giving it a closer look when we turned the choke off it was just cutting out fully is this because id been riding it with the choke on full?

 

You are meant to use the choke to start at a standstill then when warm you can knock it off and start riding.

 

well that was something i didnt do, is there any damage i could of caused?

 

It may have fouled the spark plug or flooded the combustion chamber. Maybe whip the plug out, wipe it with a rag and a some solvents and pop it back in.

 

If i was going to buy a new spark plug, what would i get just out of curiosity?

 

i cant get it started at the moment im going to try again in the morning when i have some light

 

TIP.............Dont go mad putting spark plug back in hand tight then a little nip or you will fook the threads where abouts in the pool are you
