This video discusses oil injection and shows what happens when they fail and i show what to look for if not oiling bike shown in video is a 1979 km100 same as KE100 KD80 KD100 KC100 KH100 and how to adjust
Love your videos. I'm fixing a '72 G4 Kawasaki , can't get horn or signal lights working. But I'll keep watching your videos for sure. Yours truly Jim Dandy is Handy from Alberta Canada Canada
Kevin enjoy your videos found you when I got my new bike. I got a 74 ks125 Enduro I bought for $100 been sitting 10+ years definitely rode hard and put away wet. I tore this thing completely down painted the frame and started putting it back together making little repairs and touch ups as I go. well now I'm on to the oiler and I need to prime the line and my problem is my oiler doesn't have a bleeder valve screw like yours does
Always love watch your video’s for information Especially on the older Kawasaki’s I am currently working on a 1979KD 175 was wondering if you had any information on the oil drain plug what size would that be? which I am missing.
Hey Kevin hope you’re having a good summer. Quick question shoul you put the oil pump mark dead on or would it be better to put it alittle passed it to over oil it. I rather run it rich then have it lean out. I don’t have much experience with these oilers and I am not sure how good they are. Thanks in advance
Hey Kevin. I am thinking I have a bad oil pump. It’s lined up and it’s still spiting oil out the exhaust. .it smokes on the start up but after she’s warm not much smoke but oil still comes out. Can you rebuild the oil pump? They are so expensive I really don’t want to spend 200 for the pump. Thank again
Hey by the way you should be using at least a tc rated oil or low ash formula. You are using one for snowmobiles or outboard which don't reach the temps and rpm range of bikes, chainsaws etc. Or I use any jaso fd or fc rated oils. It says right on your label to use the "Trax" type for tc rated oils
what is the oil to gas mixture on a 1978 kawasaki kd 100m? the oil pump is shot and want to use pre mix. also i have side plate off can i just remove plastic oil mix gear and put new screws with washers where banjoes fittings are?
Oil pump shot I have worked on over 2k 2stroke rotatary valve never seen a bad pump I recommend replacing it or the rotatary valve and right main bearing will fail if the pump is bad please don't throw it away I will buy it
Excellent video. I have a '76 KE125 I have had since new; I am now in the process of restoring it. Where do you find an electronic ignition conversion kit for these? Also, as someone else asked - where do you get replacement oil pumps?
I have an mc1A 74. Nipple broke off on the oil tank and I’m having a hard time finding a replacement. You know any alternative that will fit. Otherwise I may just fab up a tank to replace it.
Kevin, I'm working on my '84 KD80 -- My bike used to run great and one day got a bog and became very tough to start. I am wondering if it's the oiler. I also think it may need to be re-jetted. Any advice and where did you buy the oiler?
@@2strokeguru Im new to motor work and this is my first project - what are the points? is there a way to adjust them or check to make sure they check out alright?
@@jaybaker2916 check out my ignition system videos they are what makes the ignition system work points are a mechanical switch needed for the coil to make spark
I have a kd100 m that I got to start but the carb leaked. I will be getting a new carb to fix that but oil also came out the exhaust. Could you tell me why that happened?
There's no oil in the engine for 2stroke it gets mixed in the fuel for 2stroke the drain under the center of the engine and its only for the transmission
Hey Kevin, bikes been running like crap. Whenever I get it to start it smokes like a freight train and doesn’t really run well. I have a brand new piston in it, what could the issue be? Thanks!
@@2strokeguru Kevin Oil pump is definitely working and adjusted to the rich side but the bike is running very very lean. What would you suggest is the issue? Lean jetting?
Kevin Bergeron I see the engine oil in the oil pump. The pump itself isn’t there. I was able to get the engine running (not idling) but the oil pump wasn’t pumping. I ran premix when running jt
These bikes are new to me iv never seen a set up like it, the previous owner has done a right job on it and I'm trying to figure out where things go. Like there's a black rubber tube that comes out the engine and I'm not sure if it's meant to be connected to the carb. The bike is actually a ke100 frame with a kh125 engine
How much is it supposed to pump? I’ve had my bike running for a few minutes total after I cleaned out the oiler, and it has only pumped halfway through the oil line to the engine. I’ve been running premix
How long will the bike smoke after replacing crank seal , and also after installing new seal bike doesn’t seem to wanna run past idle . Is it possible I goofed up the seal install
could i bypass this by pre mixing my gas? i have a ke100 and ive been pre mixing gas because the guy i got it from said the oil pump was gone in it. Ive been using a 50:1 ratio. Should i use a more oil rich ratio lie 32:1?
I have a 79 km 100. When I acquired the bike I discovered the oil pump had been passed. Been running 20:1. Starts up, idles, runs great on a flat road but it bogs and dies on an incline. Could the bypassed oil pump be causing the problem?
Hello I just bought the same bike today and its missing the battery and not sure how to hook up the battery because the wires aren't marked hopefully you can help me thanks
Kevin Bergeron also I noticed the my back rim is loaded with oil I'm a auto technician for the last 30 years so I know my way pretty well around bikes. I'm sure the oiler is bad I checked the adjustment and its right on do you know where I can get a new one I checked the vent and its open thanks again

We have fun
Enjoy more precautionary non slick ride with ur new oil pump
Kevin, good video you made. Do you still have the KD80? They were good bikes . I have a suzuki DS80 and run it straight mix in the take.
yes i do i don't get rid or sell bikes
i run all my bike with the oil pump for me its the best most accurate way

@gilmar5946 it's best dead on if you advance it you can foul plugs the other way will lean it out

Your awsome great video. Do you know if they ever made a 4 stroke version by chance
Thank you I'm not aware of any 4stroke version

Ke125 cdi is found in the Kawasaki gto 125
Oil pump typically just needs to be cleaned

Check out ebay they might have one
Very good vid mate
Thank you
If you’re oiler is bad can you bypass it still or do I need to replace the whole thing before you bypass it?
I replaced it the rotary valve engine needs the automatic Oiler there's a port in the block if not done correctly burn up the rotory valve
What's the oil tank by the kick-start for? Do u fill it up too? I have ke100
2 stroke oil

Boging is typically a spark plug and or points I wouldn't mess with the Oiler 99% of the time not the problem

Any chance you could tell me where the oil drain on the engine is and the trans fill and drain plug locations?just picked up a 125. Its my first bike
There's no oil in the engine for 2stroke it gets mixed in the fuel for 2stroke the drain under the center of the engine and its only for the transmission
@@2strokeguru so the dipstick is for the oil in the trans? Nice. Thank you so much
Would a missing oil tank vent hose create a vacuum?
No as long as it's not plugged

Hey Kevin, bikes been running like crap. Whenever I get it to start it smokes like a freight train and doesn’t really run well. I have a brand new piston in it, what could the issue be? Thanks!
clogged exhaust tip
What about the possible air from the "oiler" to the valve? do you bleed it from the out banjo to behind the carb area?
Jenn Tek on the top of the pump remove the bolt
My 74 G4TR 100 doesn't have a bleed screw on it, how do you make sure there is no air in the system?
That's a great question the fix is simple loosen the banjo fitting next to the carb till a steady flow of oil comes out then snug up the banjo fitting
@@2strokeguru you're the man thank you!

Dear Kevin, my clutch is slipping worse everyday on 89 kd80 do you think that synthetic oil has messed up the clutch?
Yes I do these engines are not designed for synthetic just conventional oil
@@2strokeguru what would you recommend doing? I already replac d the case oil with conventional Kawasaki 10w40
Do I need to replace the abrasives?
@@eelnoizpanx unfortunately you may have smoked the clutch you can try readjusting the clutch
whats a good price for these oilers, if its too steep I might have to cancel it
I honestly never had to buy on
I’ve got an Oiler that doesn’t seem to want to pump, and I even think I’m seeing some crankcase oil in it. Normal?
If you have engine oil in the crankshaft space you have a major problem 2 stroke engines don't use crankcase oil
Kevin Bergeron I see the engine oil in the oil pump. The pump itself isn’t there. I was able to get the engine running (not idling) but the oil pump wasn’t pumping. I ran premix when running jt
Kevin Bergeron, I have just been given a kh100 what oil goes in the tank under seat?
Thanks

2 stroke oil
I also am picking up a kh100

thats correct need to bleed it to the banjo fitting dont let it do it on its own you will starve the engine for oil
i have oilier videos
How long will the bike smoke after replacing crank seal , and also after installing new seal bike doesn’t seem to wanna run past idle . Is it possible I goofed up the seal install
Why did you replace the seals
Kevin Bergeron bike was and still is burning transmission oil , wasn’t sure how long it would take to clear out

Bypass the oil pump it will destroy the rotary value fix the oil pump i bet it just needs to be bleed the dont stop oiling when they go they over oil
50 to 1 you will destroy the engine
@@2strokeguru how would I bleed the oil pump
