1982 TS185 issues...
Hi all,
I've recently purchased an 82 ts185. Great bike, however I am having a few issues with it.
It will rev out with little effort if given a small amount of throttle, however if given full throttle the bike boggs down (ie, 10000rpm to 8k, 6k, 5k and almost stalls). At the same time it blows a phenomenal amount of white smoke. The exhaust has quite a bit of black oil, and it seems to be getting worse. I have adjusted the oil pump correctly and the motor still has good compression (130psi). Spark plug is new and of a higher heat band (5 instead of 7). The carburettor has been rebuilt and the float level and needle/jets are all good. I suspect the r/h crank seal might have gone and so it's sucking oil (and probably a bit of air as well) into the cylinder.
The bike is also not charging properly, and the headlight is quite dim but i think the stator plate is another issue in itself. The timing is correctly adjusted, and the woodruff key is also good.
It's worth mentioning that the bike had been sitting for approximately 18 months prior to me purchasing it.
Any ideas? Could it be that the r/h crank seal is the culprit? Any help would be greatly appreciated
