Am from INDIA, Kawasaki sold vehicle with name KB100, KB100RTZ, KB125RTZ(ReducedToZero) in co lab with BAJAJ, I own KB125RTZ I fixed my problem looking at your videos Thank you very much
Hi I'm Paul from Australia, I have a Yamaha 800 Jetski the auto oiler delivers far too much oil at idle so I disconnected the pump & now use premix at 30-1, is sooo much better a lot less smoke at idle & more low speed accelerator conlrol. Thx for the info...
***IMPORTANT NOTE*** to anyone wanting to bypass the oil injection on any 2-stroke engine. Be sure to consult a factory service manual first. Some have a slinger ring that will keep pre-mix from getting to one of your main crank bearings and this will cause engine failure in the long run.
That's why I say it's not a good idea people have been letting the tank run dry pre mixing and destroying there engine because of now sucking air causing a lean condition
@@2strokeguru I agree, verify the pump works correctly and use it. It must be and "old wifes' tale" about the oil-injection pumps making bikes not run right, i've never had an issue. Cool collection of little Kawasaki's and such that you have.
Honesty i was amazed that this 6x6 fired right up I looked half the day for a dip stick so i could check the oil.. lmbo .. then it finally dawned on me... the flat head should have been my first clue .. is this a rotary motor? Polaris bigboss 400 2 stroke 6x6 chain drive .. cant wait to drive it .. what a machine.. but im takeing my time to besure i dont blast something like thw motor or trans just cus ive missed something that would be easy to fix
Is that what all the plastic gears look like? On the back of mine there is a little 2 teeth plastic gear. Its smaller and does not look like that Someone already cut the wires and remover the oil pump so putting it back to stock is not an option for me at this point. It's a suzuki ax100. An import bike for the us and I'm not going to spend the time or money on new parts when I only paid 100 for the bike in the first place. I'm thinking of just doing what you showed filling the tube with oil. Mines a little different but I think I can make it work. Thanks so much for showing the actual engine close up instead of just showing your face talking the whole time. Great video!
Im working on a 1972 kawasaki 175 2 stroke , just picked up from a friend ..this procedure should probably work on it as well ,right? thanks for video really explained well.
I got an old yamaha 1970, and somebody really botched up the oil pump removal, theres tons of nasty aluminum slag and a jagged hole where the pump once was, and despite there being NO oil reservoir, or any lines going to the area, oil shoots out of the aforementioned jagged hole when I kick it over! I'm not sure how I am going to solve this problem.
Hey Keven, thanks for the video. Am I understanding it correctly that even following this method, bypassing the automatic oiler will ruin the rotary valve and the first main crank bearing? I only ask because I have a cracked tank and my automatic oiler gets stuck open if you give it more than half throttle. I checked the cable, its not that. It is the little control arm on the pump that gets stuck.
Thanks so much!! My Ke100 / G5 1975 is pumping way to much oil. I've adjusted the throttle spring lever "thing" but it still pumps too much any thoughts on what I should do? New pump?
not really many ways to test easily... id kick the bike over with pre-mix and unhook the oil pump from the carburetor... let the bike idle and see if the pump, well- pumps lol!
Luke Tanner yeah man, if you want- I can give you my number and help you out a little! I just fixed my 1982 Yamaha Dt100 and could possibly give you some advice!
My 6x6 bigboss 400 looks to have had simular modifications . Is this a problem ? should i resolve and get back to stock (get the injector pump working again) or can i just mix the oil with the gas? And cause no engine damage??
Someone removed the oil pump on my 73 G5 and installed a plate and gasket over the hole. Also put a bolt in the place of banjo fitting by the carb. Will this be work OK?
Sorry but I can’t understand why your method of putting a small amount of oil in the pump and recirculating it is any better?? Not being a jerk here just don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a pump I may not need!
@@louhudon Lou you are 100% correct I am totally against removing and bypassing the infact it will cause damage to the rotary valve and I explain this the oil pump is made by mikkuni and is the best pump on the market here's the problem people don't understand how it works and because they don't understand it they delete it and it is a great system
Hi Kevin, Got a 50cc Honda Dio scooter with oil injection, it smokes a whole lot and it fouls the plug frequently, How can i adjust the amount of oil injected? I already adjusted the cable but it delivers wayy too much oil. thanks in advance for any help.
its not it just keeps the pump from running dry as i said in the video bypassing this pump is not a good idea and will cause engine damage this engines rotary valve requires the pump with out is over time you WILL destory it
@@2strokeguru as a kid back in the late 90s, I had a KE100 that I bought (very very used) that came without the oil tank fitted so I proceeded to simply mix the oil in the gas and thought all would be fine. A few weeks later my rotary valve seized from what I assumed was lack of lubrication from the oil pump and it was a hell of a job to free it up and remove it.
@@2strokeguru OK...so if you disable the line to the main bearing and to the carburetor, this will starve and ruin the main bearing, correct? Premix isn't going to lube the main bearing is it?
@@bizb8742 this bike is not a motorcross bike. Premixing this bike has no benefits especially for on road use and this bike requires a 24 to 1 oil ratio so you can't even share motorcross Premix because it is a completely different ratio and Premix doesn't make it easier
Just picked up an 86 kd 80 and was curious if you could tell me what size the carb is on this. Would a ke100 carb fit right up? I cant seem to find anyparts for this old guy. The whole carb and oil system is gone
hi Kevin, I've got a Kawasaki kc100 which is running with quite a lot of blue smoke under throttle (smells of 2 stroke and not crankcase oil). I've tried adjusting the oiler to under oil but it's still very smokey and frequently fouls the plug because of it. how would you go about remedying this? thanks
@@2strokeguru thanks for the reply. I did that quite recently and it did decrease the smoke significantly after cleaning but the oiler is almost definitely over-oiling as the smoke quite quickly built back up and I'm fairly certain it's causing the spark plug to foul. how bad an idea is it to bypass the oiler entirely? also, would the oil buildup in the exhaust cause the plug to foul? thanks for all the help, your videos are excellent
Can you take the pump off and run it i bought a trail boss and the person that had it before disconnected it and lost the banjo so does the pump neet to be on
No the pump is required rotary valve engine need the pump to lube the rotory valve bypass oil system will damage engine rotary engines are the only engine you really need to auto lube for
This process shouldn't be done atall bypassing the auto lube will destroy the rotary valve and right side main bearing mc1 is not a motorcross bike and it needs the auto lube
@@2strokeguru Ok Thanks!. Would it be ok to premix a little oil into the gas as a backup in case the injection fails? (Getting a 1974 MC1 running that has been sitting for 40 yrs)
@@will_h10 no need just prime the pump i had oil pump failure 1 time in 30years the pump over oiled smoke was pouring out the exhaust and i went through half a tank of oil overnight they are very reliable
@@2strokeguru Ok good to know. Would Amsoil Sabre work as an oil for the injection system? Bought that because I was going to go the premix route. Planning on trying the oil pump now.
Hi i have a ke100 i just got and it will start and run for a little while until i stop then wont start back i noticed the plug next the carb was missing could it have been from carb getting to much air?
Replace the plug and try that first in most cases its the plug check and make sure its getting the fuel it needs if your oil system is still hooked up and you are running premix WHICH IS BAD FOR THESE ENGINES oil foul the plug the automatic oiler is the best way to go
@@2strokeguru I've been doing it for years on a scrambler 400 and never had a problem with it. This oil pump is different it drives of a metal gear that get lubricated from the oil in the gas
