This can be caused by all sorts of things.There is no real order of probability so I'll just list them.Your oil/fuel ratio could be rich depending on what oil you use,your powervalve could be stuck closed(pop off the plastic cover over the actuator located at the front of the clutch cover,its held in place by 3 screws attached to the barrel,start the bike and give it a big blat on the throttle and see if the lever moves)it could have a blown crank seal(the symptom displayed by this fault is that you will be using gearbox oil),the expansion chamber could be carboned up,or the piston and/or rings could be worn.If all these things check out ok I suggest either raising the clip on the needle(which drops the needle causing the mixture to run slightly leaner) If this does not have enough effect go down one size in the main jet.Adjusting the main jet size will require you initally to very frequently remove the spark plug to check that you haven't gone too lean. The plug should not be wet and oily,the perfect colour is a tan colour and not wet.I must stress that jetting a 2 stroke if you lack experience can be tricky in that if you go too lean you can seize the engine so if you do reduce the size of your main jet frequent initall inspections of the plug is highly recommended.As a final note,if you are using a standard plug and not a racing plug(ie gold paladnium or irridium)thay are inherently more susseptable to fouling & changing to a "racing plug" may help to reduce your plug fouling.Hope this was helpfull

My yamaha pw 80 won't kickstart and can you tell me why gas is coming out were the spark plug goes when i try kickstart?

I'm assuming you mean gas comes out the spark plug hole with the plug removed??? You probably have a gummed up carburator, due to old gas or dirt. Make sure your air filter is clean first, and then get your carburator thoroughly cleaned. If your float is sticking, or the float needle is dirty or worn out, it will keep dumping fuel to the engine.

The fuel is leaking from the float bowl when the engine is running. Is the float stuck?

either the float is stuck in the down position or the float needle cannot close properly due to debris in the float valve or a worn float valve assembly.

Gas began running out of the tube that exits the top of the carburator on the Yamaha TTR-50. So much gas that I had to use a gas can to put the excess gas into. It appeared to be leaking from the...

hi,sounds like the float in the carb is stuck in the fully open position,you will have to take the carb out,take the bowl off the bottom of the carb and inspect the float needle assembly,the little clip that holds the float to the needle valve may have come off,allowing fuel to run unchecked into the carb and ultimately out through the overflow..hope this helps..cheers

2000 YZ 125 Breaks up at High RPM. We think its the power valve. any tips would be great

check fuel float level as it might not be able to keep up the flow rate at those revs
or the read valve has become weak

Yz 125cc 2003

Black spark plug means too rich , you will have to replace the spark plug since it has foul up and reset the air mixture screw on the carburator 2 and 1/2 turns outwards.
Check the air filter too.
Hope this helps.

If your carb is clean ..Sounds like you should look at your kill switch ...could be loose wire inside, grounding itself out ...hope this helps! other then that could be starving for fuel (carb adjust)
