It doesn't matter if you use mineral, semi, or full synthetic. You haven't said which bike, but given your posting style and knowledge I'll assume it's a 4 stroke 125 of some sort, so mineral is fine, particularly if it's just a top-up.
It states 15W40, I would use 10W40 or 20W50 if I had it to hand. Oil of the slightly wrong grade is better than not enough oil. 10W40 preferable in very cold weather. You don't need bike specific oil, just avoid magnatec.
You don't need to adjust the mix unless you have made significant changes to the inlet or exhaust, grey is fine. Only start messing with the mix if it's very lean (white, blistered) or very rich (black, sooty). You adjust it by fiddling with the black art of jets and needles, not with a screw on the carb. You don't know enough to do this.
Your problem is most likely down to your total lack of wiring skills when fitting the immobiliser. The wire you just pushed in is probably making an intermittent connection, and getting shaken loose by the vibes from the bike when running. Wire the immobiliser in propoerly, with factory fit connectors or soldered joints protected with heatshrink. Two wires twisted together with some electrical tap around them will not give a good, reliable connection. This is also a safety issue - you don't want that shit join to fail at 70 on a dual carriageway at night and leave you with no power to engine or lights.
Finally, learn to spell. If you post on here in a style that suggests you need step-by-instructions to put your socks on, you will be treated as such. If you tell us you're dyslexic as a defence, you'll be subjected to endless tirades of highly focussed pisstaking. Use the spell check. |

ok guys got it going afer going over it about 10 times checking everything that ive done every wire i connected and disconnected every bulb i changed and then checked it for spark and flooding as you guys suggested i had a good strong spark and i dont know how to tell if it was flooded but i turned it over without the plug in any way and it STILL wouldn't fire! i thought ill go to the garage and get some oil and top it up so i went over the road and was talking to the guy behind the counter and he said have you washed it recently?seeing no relevence i said yes why so he said check if theres water in the CDI so after comeinbg home again and takeing the cdi off i saw it was wet dirty horrible in general and i thought well eavan if it isnt damaged i might aswell replace it anyway so i went back and the guy gave me a replacement cdi for £15 with a smile and an "told you so" went home fitted it and it fired first kick?
so i guess thats problem solved thanks for all the help guys now if i can only work out why the sidelight wont work
thanks
ill let you all know how it gets on in its mot on wednesday |
