Check that the spark plug boots aren't wet or worn. Sometimes the spark leaks to the cylinder head.

Hi, from your question it sounds like you have an idling problem. To fix this you have to adjust the idle speed screw that is located on top of the carb. Turn that screw in (clockwise) for faster idle speed. Hope this helps. All the best and good luck.

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak between the carby and the head. Check the O ring that is between the carb and manifold. Replace if it doesn't sit proud of the locating groove.

Carby has a blocked air jet, you will need to carefully remove the idle air bleed and blow compressed air in. Thats the short cut option. The better way is to remove strip / clean carby.

1977 yz80 wont start. Cleaned carburetor, checked magneto, but cant get to start having problems getting spark, replaced plug.

If you have a spark, but weak. It is possible that your flywheel is demagnetised. Then you'll need a spare.
If sparks are good, then the spark plug should be moisted with fuel after a few ( 10 ) choke kickstarts. If so you'll have a weak compression. Then you have to at least clean out the piston ring grooves ( dismount cilinderhead and cilinder ), or even change the piston rings or overbore the cilinder and place a new oversize piston kit.
If spark plug stays dry when kickstarting, the carburettor is faulty. Clean it out, check also the choke system. Check the air intake between carb and cilinder for air leaks.

This is a 3 wheeler 125 m honda one cyl runs

Sounds like a loose piece of crud in the main jet. Have you had the jet and tube above it out? It could also be a spark problem. See if you have spark when it tries to die ( put a nail in the plug boot and get it sparking 1/4" or so to the plug at idle then rev it up, it should continue jumping. I think that bike will also have mechanical spark advance on the rotor on the end of the cam. If the springs are loose on that the spark timing will be all over the map and can make it run intermittantly.

Bike wont start

Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two screws down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward. Clean the air filter. Install a new stock NGK spark plug.
