Bigjimknickers Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well this thing is really pissing me off, I've searched for the correct settings and there is no way its 1 1/4 L & 1-1/2 H it simply won't go, maybe the plug is faulty, I can't find a spare. I stupidly thought it'd be a good idea to go back to factory settings, god knows why. Anyone else got a km 30.5cc? If so what carb settings have you got? Thanks.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Its now been chucked in the shed & I'm having a beer to cool off, its given me the right hump. I'll go get a new plug tomorrow, from any auto factors I take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You have the factory settings. They are the factory settings. Why don't you just sort it with me this weekend and stop stressing yourself out about it? We will get it working don't worry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get it working don't worry Cheer mate, I know you'd sort it in a second, I just wanted it running for the weekend that's all, I'm more annoyed at myself as it was running great before I f@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARSKi-RC Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've got 2x KM 30.5's and both killed their spark plugs over about 3x break in tanks...stock settings were both too rich so the plugs get fouled. New plug, stock settings or slightly leaner and tune from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have loads of spare plugs we can try if it comes to it bud. Couldn't find a plug anywhere, tried 6-7 places no joy, tried to start it again & no joy, not even trying to fire. So don't forget the spare plugs! Look forward to seeing you tomorrow!! Cheers, jim.

Hyper-d Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Have you checked the connection between the killswitch and the coil?how did you connect them?have you checked you're getting a spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've checked the plug & it's very wet & dark & oiley, its sparking but weak, I think the run in has killed the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I took it to perham down on Sunday & met Nick (FTI off here) he kindly lent me a plug as I couldn't get one Saturday, then he reset tha carb & away it went! Had a great day with it until the rear wheel pin fell out an got lost! But the good news is Nick checked the carb & it looks like a genuine walbro carb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 i got mine last year and that has a genuine walbro on it makes all the difference, that bashing spot looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm a little gutted really, it started messing about again today, I started it to test it after my rear hub mod & it cut out after 10 mins & wouldn't start again. I think it needs a new plug really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well its running nicely again, new plug turned up today, put it in, re set LSN to 1-1/4 & it started 4th pull, seems like my KM munches plugs! I'll get some spares I think! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
