[Archived - 2009] PK Official- Questions for Newbie

[jB]

I live in yew tee. Yup, i just changed the battery to a new one but still can't work.

 

Metalfyre & jB, i am a laruku fan. I happened to find this logo on the net and decided to just use it. Lol. Hyde! Woots!

 

ps, how do i push start on a phantom 150 which doesn't have an electric start?

I don't know whats laruku, don't wanna anyway turn your ignition key on, check your kill switch(emergency On/Off), clutch in, kick up to gear 2.

 

Prepare to sprint like you're challenging jB to 100m sprint in a stadium and run 4 steps(speed should go about 20+km/h already) and throw your clutch and also realise you lost to jB but you got a consolation.Your engine has started, but wait, once it starts, clutch in. And then you're good to go my man.

 

If that doesn't help, prepare $20-$25 and call for toll to get it to a realiable shop to do it for you.Or someone who can offer you his service.I'm not free these days sorry my man.

btw, it's good side income. I've been there before .

erm.. that's near north right..? lol.. problem solved yet?

[normanlai]

theres a reason that these tools are only $2 and if you can find them in a mechanics toolbox I wouldnt be in any hurry to hire him.

 

if there's no label that says it costs $2, and it works good, would u question the mechanic asking how much it costs? A typical ah peh mechanic probably has tools bought from the same hardware store as you did for home maintainence.

 

[normanlai]

wondering sia if hardware store got sell the cap cover? can check for me?

 

i would love to assist, but i have zero idea what you are talking about. picture would be fantastic

Today went to Planet and asked Ah Chong to clean the carb. So nicely he went and ask the staff to clean the carb. after one hour when the carb job was coming to an end Ah chong came and was observing the job.

He looked perplexed, puzzled and then asked the mech. The mech answered.

The next moment he goes "Oi bruder you ask clean carbureator for what".

Now that really caught me off guard so I shot back "got nothing to do at home so come and waste your time lo. He laugh and said "if no problem better not clean, it get spoilt:slapforehead: :slapforehead: My bad. If not broken don't fix it.

As for the back fire the air suction pump (between the tank and carb) was spoiled. Once changed (it sucked 60$ out of my pocket) no backfire and really better performance, coz petrol is burned rather then caughed out. A tell talesign is by revving it and clossing back. You should be able to hear a laud 'pop'. It is not life threatening failure ( to the bike or the biker) coz it is a valve to assist the air intake through the carb, so sticking with a pop-ing one would not kill your bike.

Performance wise - its worth it.

Ah ... forgot, last but not least : carb cleaning -$20, Air suction pump -$60, A mouthful of niceties thrown in for free from Ah Chong -Priceless

Hi guys.

 

I'm a long long way to getting my 2B. But I need a learning helmet with the sticker. Dont like to use the school one as I heard those helmet's chances for being a stink bomb is very high.

 

Anyone knows where I can get inexpensive, full face helmet? With the sticker of course.

 

 

Regards

Vincent

I've yet to see a someone wearing a full face at driving centres.. lol.

 

Anyway to jB and replay, the problem's solved! Finally. I think the carb got overflowed and i had to leave the engine running for awhile. After polluting the mscp with white smoke, it's able to run now. Thanks for the advises again yeah!

Good for you. Anyway the next time if you think it's overflow again. This is what i recomment you to do.

 

Turn off the ingnition. kick up the starter for 10 times without throttling. Then turn on your ingnition and kick start again. Do not throttle up until you've heard the engine ingnited.

 

Good luck & ride safetly.

Hi Vincent,

I think the training ctr does not allow student to wear 'full face' for lessons.

I am sure somebody out here surely have 'open face' used helmets in their storeroom in reasonable condition to give away. Heh heh heh

 

I'll dig into my store room tonight as I think I might have at least 2 reasonable 'open face' helmet with aprove sticker.

 

Do PM me if I don't get back to you in 48hrs time.

 

Cheers!
