Have you tried to fire it up yet? What does it do (or not do)?

caddymankc · 11-23-2007, 06:59 PM

It turns over and im sure it has compression, thats about as far as i got today, I couldnt get it to start with starting fluid, i checked and it does have spark, Tommorow im going to pull the carb and clean it and possibly drain the tank, what oil ratio should i use? Injection is diconnected.

DON'T USE STARTING FLUID!

I know E-Z-GO's Robin _PG ratio is one ounce of oil per one gallon of gas, but I don't know about Yamaha's G1 engine. It's probably close to that.

Why no starting fluid? As long as its not running on just starting fluid it should be fine.

OK, go ahead and keep pumping the starting fluid into the two-stroke engine and see what happens. I forgot that I don't know anything.

Ive used starting fluid on a bunch of 2 strokes, and never had one seize up on me.Thing is im not pumping it full of starting fluid.

It's still running without oil.

I'm not 100% sure what it does to the cylinder walls, but I've always been strictly advised to never, ever use starting fluid in two-stroke engines. Probably because normally, the gas/oil mixture enters the bottom end and provides the lubrication before entering the top end for ignition. When using starting fluid, no oil is lubricating the bottom end.

Got it running i cleaned out the carb and but i couldnt get the gas tank off to drain it? Then after running it for a bit i couldn't get it to start again. It has close to 90psi in forward and about 75-80psi in reverse compresion. What holds the tank on? Also can the clutches be rebuilt it barely gets up a hill and slowly moves on flat terrain.

No No is actually right for once

. Carb cleaner is a better alternative to starting fluid on 2 strokes. The starting fluid will quickly purge any trace of oil in a 2 stroke.
