mod doctor Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 personaly i would take it back and explain your situation, if its brand new then i am sure they will just replace the engine, on another note, if an engine is run on an a very very rich mixture for some time could this then not damage the engine also, due to high fuel load and lots of compression, the reason i say this is surley if your engine is already tight and you load it with fuel you are creating massive compression, i have seen this many many times in 2 stroke motocross engines and they work very similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATZY Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 not on its own but low compression messes up the tune which can blow plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod doctor Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 cheers shag... would low compression blow the plugs then? well to be honest, if its got very very little compression i am suprised it even started, i wouldnt think low compression would blow your glow plugs, but hey i could be wrong, low compression and blowing glow plugs makes me think there may be some thing floating around in the engine possibly?????????

Kyzer Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi mate,sorry to hear about your probs atm,so far I've lucky with mine I done what my mate said to do,and he has done loads for ppl,ran in on 16% cus it's best to use this for first run in then change glow plug and use 25% for tuning,u can use 25% to start off,but the 16%being more oil helps lube up more...his tuning mine this week :-) I'm just going on what I've been told here btw,my starter was really tight from the start took about 5 hours in total over 2days to pull it over and get going,yours might have Been a dodgy one mate,u still have a 12 month warranty so if still no good send back and get a new one !!
