How it looks now

Postby chadz » Wed Nov 21, 2012 12:29 pm

Hi guys, not been on for sometime due no lap top but made the rear end look a lot better.

Chopped rear end off, smaller plate and found a rear grab rail on uk ebay which was a rare find, looks well with bigger renthal bars and grips

But i do need a question asked, How do i adjust the Float height?, the bowl might not be fillin up quick enough when ur at full wack cos the heights too high.

cheers

full whack was about 72 on speedo on mine with stock gearing
you guys are trying to go fast on a medium size MOPED
when you need a 350cc + moped

Said nothing about speed in my post, all the stuff i have changed has been on the overall look of it. 2 people on the mz rt125 i have seen 75mph but reason i am asking about the carb is i was doing 65mph on motorway and it just died as if it had ran out of fuel but the fuel filter was still full.

I have my pride and joy below in pic thats built for speed, this mz is just mine and misses run around but its been so unreliable :(

I personally would have a look a the float needle and seat sounds like it possibly stuck closed.

was trolling the site and saw this post

try leaning the bike with its right side against a wall or pole
and open the carb drain screw bottom front left side of carb..
and let some fuel out
sounds like a bit of water in the bottom of the float bowl..

just enough to be a problem
lean it just enough so it does not fall over... this will set it so the crud drains

with the junk in the fuel here this is a weekly drill when i fill the tank

applies to MZ 125cc 4 stroke models and most bikes with a VM style carb
pdf page 6.12.2 first picture arrow and screwdriver
and on parts page 6.12.3 item 5 is the drain screw
