Lifan LF 125-j keeps cutting out

[plymouthcg125]

Hi its that bloody lifan again, right the bike will not idol properly it will stay running for say 20 seconds an suddenly cut out it sometimes its a bugger to start on the electric start, i have done the spark plug and oil yesterday an i rode it out to the moors and i noticed a slight difference as it would ride a little better but if im at the lights i cant let the throttle go if i do it just dies after a few seconds of idling, i recently changed the throttle cable also it just seems so annoying.

another thought that crept up is that it has a metal ht cover on the spark plug "common on Chinese bikes apparently" i have been recommended to change that so im in the process of looking. would that have anything to do with it or am i on the wrong lines completely?

Get some brake or carb cleaner and spray all around the inlet rubber pipes and gaskets with the engine running, IF there is a leak it will suck the cleaner into the engine and you will hear the engine note change as it burns

I had a hoation 125, and that was always a bugger on the leccy start. Would start first kick on kicker.

As has been said, check the inlet rubber for leaks. I had a poor idle, which was an air leak around this area.

I also changed the metal spark plug cap. Only about £3 for an NGK one. Mine would arc in the wet
