yt 225DX pullstart help

are you talking about the jets that are made of brass? I don't think a new starter is going to turn the one motor over, I beginning to think the valves might be stuck or it's sitting way out of time. To get the bowl off the bottom remove the whole thing and take the screws out then tap it against a bench it should eventually break free, I have done this with carbs that have sat for years with gas in them. I get the jets out with either a flat head screwdriver, or by using a small crescent wrench which I don't recommend unless you have a really good one. I am also thinking your best bet might be rebuilding your spare motor maybe replacing the piston and rings as well, don't forget the valve seals, and possibly valves if needed either way if you do the seals you are required to shave the valve as the rebuild manual tells you.

so im gonna start rebuilding the other engine while im waiting for some parts to come in the mail and i found a local guy that will fix my trike but he wants the rest of the parts trike as payment....but how do i know if im buying the right size piston? i type in 85 225DX piston kit into ebay nad like 20 diff kinds come up. .60 over .100 over. how do i kno wat one to get?

[muthey]

not sure on trikes, but on cars your piston will either be standart or have a number stamped on it somehere, other wise best bet is to measure the old one and find out what original size is and go from there, use a dial caliper to measure it with

hopefuly ill be able to get one of these old girls back to life. its a shame when i buy stuff off ebay because they have videos to show the trike they parted out use to run it makes me sad that they kill one be4 its time but i guess im getting use outa it

[muthey]

You never know you might be able to get both of them going again, I sometimes see bolt kits for them on ebay and for the ebay guys selling parts it's all about the money to them

hey sorry its been so long have had alot of doctors apointments and wat not but so i got the starter and battery put it in and like i exspected still didnt turn over. to me it really sounds like its not getting any gas. ive cleaned and changed the carb around but i still am not ruling a carb problem out. i was also thinking about the ignition coil i do get a spark from the plug when i try and start it but it not much of one. the spark plug is brand new. i have an extra ignition coil i could try using if anyone thinks that could have any part in it
