[red-rocket]

hey i got it all to geather and well drove the hell out of it and it worked pretty good wasent really turning up thought but i went away for the weekend and got home and theres no fire if u play with the kill switch it will start but then it will die agian and i no my 200 used to do that and i cut the kill switch off but will the kill switch cut offf it has no fire at all i dont no what to do but i am getting very ticed off any one got some answers

[Eric250R]

hmmmmmm, first I would try taking the kill switch assembly apart and make sure it is clean and not corroded badly, make sure the wires are solid and not loose. After that, trace your wires and make sure there are no small cuts or tears that might be grounding out against some metal. If none of that is the problem, you may just have a bad kill switch or coil. Oh, and are you sure your plug is good ?

[red-rocket]

yes it has a good plug i think it might be the coil it looks good but i dont no ill have to try a new one today but if u play with the switch it will spark and in side the switch its nice and clean

[red-rocket]

WTF edog, lay off the post whoring. Everyone in the thread seen your post the first time sheesh. Make a post like that and not even answer the guys very simple question that was posted directly above you.


red-rocket: It depends on what type of oils your using. Basicly it goes like this. Walmart and other cheap ass castor based brands of 2 stroke oil, 20:1. Castor based oils from the local motorcycle dealerships such as Honda GN2, Yamalube 2-s, etc 32:1. And for high performance racing synthetic type oils, up to 50:1

I've always ran bel-ray at 32:1 myself. Has worked well for me. But yeah, go by what Billy said...lol.
