>Project RM125: testing it

OK, so we have a comprehensive test plan that involves many hours of detailed data logging and rigorous lab conditions. The only problem is that we are failing at step 1...

She runnnnnnnnnnnns...cough, splutter

Oh, she looks pretty and very shiny. Started first kick and revved like a banshee, sadly when we knocked off the choke she farted like a boiler. So we've taken the carb off and cleaned it again- still no better, so any suggestions welcomed - the neighbours a getting tired of hearing an unsilenced two stroke revving its nuts off...

and here's the plan...
1 Get a Bike...
2 Strip It
3 Clean it
4 Paint it
5 Seat
6 Engine
7 Frame and Suspension
8 Test it
9 Race it
The costs so far...

 

What we learnt this time...  
Just bolting it back together isn't enough
