Re: Kinetic Honda DX/ZX Thread.

If the problem has arisen after the carburettor was 'tuned', then it has 100% to do with wrong 'tuning' of the carb.

Probably he has set the air-fuel screw too lean.

Take your scooter to someone who knows how to 'tune' a carburettor properly.

Common issues spark plug/cable and compression loss.

Re: Kinetic Honda DX/ZX Thread.

If the problem has started immediately after the installation of the bore, then it may have to do with a weak compression (since the bore was already 65000km old). Get a compression test done. If the compression is weak then there is no other way but to go for a new block/piston assembly or a rebore. Do check the piston rings before you go for a new block.

Kinetic Honda DX/ZX Thread.

Oh! when going to the tinker for the silencer removal and cleaning accelerator cable snapped and had a small accident due to rain-skid. now sitting on the bed thinking about my kiney! Recently I gave my kiney to the mechanic for the afr setting. He just drank{not really!) all the petrol present in the tank. Thats why i am really afraid of giving the kiney to the mechanic without my presence. what type of cable I want to buy for the accelerator? is that Honda activa type ? what i should ask for in the spare shop? need replies urgently

Re: Kinetic Honda DX/ZX Thread.

Ah! Fixed the accelerator cable. Accelerator cable came to rs.250 and labour rs.150.
Didn't know that the prices has risen this much[surprise]
EDIT: On the way after fixing the accl cable Speedo cable snapped very very [anger] Now I want to repair/fix the Speedo and odo meter cable! Don't know how much this thing would cost[anger]

Re: Kinetic Honda DX/ZX Thread.

I hear a kreech-kreech sound while accelerating. What may be the problem?
Sometimes when I go over a bump, It gives a whistle sound. I am confused whether it is from the wheels(Tyres) or Rear shock absorbers? I don't think the problem is with tyre because only day before yesterday i reworked on tubes.
Any solution for both these things?
