Honda CG 125 carb settings?

[tallturtle]

Just bought a CG125 for the other half to practice on before taking her test. Unfortunately it runs badly and missfires at high revs. Really need to know what the carb settings should be for the idle, accelerator pump etc so I can confirm its set ok before I try anything else. Really need this info, but haven't been able to get a manual yet

Thanks for that Thing is, when I bought it, it revved out perfectly.... BUT the throttle would stick open (never much fun especially as the brakes didn't work very well either ). As a consequence I took the carb apart and cleaned it out etc. This cured the alarming tendancy of the bike to refuse to slow down but I obviously didn't take enough care in noting how far the jets were turned in There's the added complication of the accelerator pump setup which I also had to disturb to get the carb apart. I've tried the trial and error method, but various attempts at adjusting in and out haven't really made a difference, which is why I need the proper settings to give me somewhere to start from. I take your point about the timing and it could probably do with an adjustment but as I said, it ran (and ran) ok when I first got it.

Take the carb off and check the jets. Make sure they are clear and have no blockages.

The throttle on my friends CG sticks open. What you do to remedy it is; losen the screws that hold the grip twist (throttle) asembley to the handle bars, and slide the asembley to the right. Only a little bit. This should allow the throttle to spring back to idle.

Got myself a Haynes manual. Adjusted carb to correct settings. Now runs much much better. Will have a look at the timing just to make sure everything is as it should be.
The throttle problem seems to be at the carb end, as at the handlebar end it returns with a nice snap.
I guess bearing in mind the age that things aren't too bad. As long as it helps the missus pass her test, it would have been money well spent

I know this is an old post i'm replying to but i cannot find what i'm after in other posts and cant for the life of me seem to find the button to start new posts?

Anyway, i have a honda cg 125 1996, i took the carb off today to clean it and put it back on, seemed ok, but then i turned the key kick started it and it just revved its tits off, so i turned the key off, as i didnt want to damage anything tried about ten different times to fix the problem cant seem to figure out whats wrong with it, i'm no expert with bikes but if someone can let me know if they think they know whats wrong with it i would appriciate it,

also i noticed, when the bike was off i was checking if the accelerator (like the twist grip) and as i revved(while the engine was off) it didnt snap back?

if anyone could help me i would greatly appriciate it thanks

Ps, if anyone can tell me how to start new posts that would be great too, haha

cheers

New topic is the button you want. Top right.

Was the bike OK before you started to clean the carb? If so it could be you have turned the tickover knob up to much or sticky slider. If non CV carbs you may have put the cable back wrong. Some sliders have a notch so you have to have it a certain way round. Take it apart again and re asemble how the book says.

You need to check throttle cable not sticking and is routed properly ,then check throttle spring .then check you have got your throttle slide right way round in jet .unscrew top of carb and had a spring and little shuttle with needle on make sure its not back to front if all checked and still does it look at float needle make sure itsfree moving

Thanks for your help guys, it was sticking accelerator cable, my girlfriends dad came and helped me sort it, there was old grease in there gone all hard jamming it up, just my luck that it happens to fully jam up when i'd cleaned the carb, first big piece of work i'd done on the bike (big to me ) and i thought i'd messed it up, turns out i did it ok, whahey! cheers for your help and thanks for replying on an old post

If any one is interested or runs in to the same problem as i did i'll give a "brief" overview of what was done:

Take accellerator hand bar grip fully off, well not fully off, just enough so you can get to the wire, unclip the wire, similar to brakes on a pedal bike, then we put wd40 down to clear the old grease, then dripped oil down the wire until it came out the other end and then took the top bit of carb off with the spring in it, stretched the spring so it would spring back to place, then put it back together.

i know its not the most detailed overview but i'm no mechanic, hope this helps someone else in the future, with the beast that it CG haha
