1985 Honda 125m Engine RPM idle problem

[Bashula]

I recently had a problem and I fixed it now I got it to start but when it starts it's at normal rpm then it slowly creeps up to scarry rpm speed like giving it all the throttle and when I do hit the throttle It sounds like it wants to kill me sounds like the piston is going to explode and no I only gave it a little gas.

Thanks,
Bryan

Does it have the original steel tank? You may have a gas cap vent that isn't functioning properly. First turn it to the on position. And then remove the cap. If it sucks air then that is your problem.

Idk Im at school ill check and it would not change gears too I really don't know.

[Bashula]

No I don't see anything it sometimes works when it is cooled down for about 10 - 15 min then it has a temper tantrums and goes really loud then it stalls then it don't work.

You might have a vacuum leak check your intake manifold for cracks or leaks. After doing that make sure all the screws on your carb are set correctly according to your service manual.

[Bashula]

OK thanks ill try that

Clean your carb. Also, pay attention in English class

I'm new to this 3 wheeler thing but I had the same problem check your carb and make sure your idle screw isn't bouncein around in the carb

I fixed the killer noise but now it stalls in the middle of the road and I have to push it back before it stalls it makes a loud noise like a bang bang then it dies I've check and there is gas I'm thinking I'm flooding it or there is not enough gas getting to it.

Yep a good carb cleaning can fix that

[Bashula]

I already cleaned it sparkling clean before this and put new jets and everything, nothing is leaking then I put it back together and started it and start the thing at the top of this forum then I fixed that then I am down to this. Could it be the fuel filter? That for me is the last thing on my list I don't understand why it would take 20 min for it to start after it starts once.

[Craigolsen18]

Your making no sense what is it doing now be accurate and descriptive. Just say what it's doing nothing else

[Bashula]

Ok sorry, I start it up and I get about 2 minutes then it just stalls for no reason, it stopped making the banging noise. Then I can't get it started until I wait for 20-30 min then I can start it then it stalls.

They where talking about the carburetor I cleaned it, and I set the fuel to air screws to factory specs from the manual.

[Craigolsen18]

Ok good, I noticed you said you had a fuel filter? I would remove the fuel filter completely(because your petcock has a filter built it) and see what happens. Sometimes fuel filters don't allow the proper fuel flow that is required by small engines.

[Bashula]

I did that but I have a new problem now it moves on its own like I'm pushing the gas I was thinking the needle in the carburetor is doing that.

clutch adjustment maybe? Chain too tight? Is your gas tank vacuum locking itself?

[Bashula]

I will try to put it into low gear and maybe it will work but the brakes are sticking and ill have to fix them I can't put it into low gear with the wheels sticking.
I looked on the internet and talked about the gas tank vacuum and it checks out.
I don't understand why it would be the chain because it didn't do it before the brake thing.

[Bashula]

Hey thanks guys I got it running without it stalling Ill sent pics sometime tomorrow or the next day

[Bashula]

It was the fuel filter in the carb I cleaned it and put it back in. And it runs great
