My MALAGUTI motorcycle XSM XNUMX does not hold idle

MALAGUTI XSM 50
can't idle? This may be due to several issues. Your machine may not idle at all when you start it and you have to keep accelerating to prevent it from stalling. In most cases this is a carburetor adjustment problem. Indeed, the latter may be incorrectly adjusted, or parts may be unsuitable for the configuration of your machine.
If you notice that your MALAGUTI motorcycle XSM XNUMX does not keep idling, we recommend that you first adjust the
idle screw
. It sounds like a very easy manipulation, but it is usually the number one cause of this failure.
To adjust the
idle screw
:
- Have a
flat screwdriver
.
- Turn your idle screw from one direction to the other with your engine running in order to find the precise moment for it to run as smoothly as possible.
- The more you tighten the screw, the more you increase the idle. Conversely, the more you loosen it, the more you reduce the idle.
Warning: If you have any doubts about the condition of your idle screw, we recommend that you replace it.
It is an inexpensive part that is very easy to replace.
If the idle speed of your machine is still not holding up, then it is very often a problem with the carburetor adjustment. You are surely too rich in gasoline. In that case :
- Remove the cover from your
air box
. If you find that the idle is holding much better then this confirms that you are too rich in gasoline.
- Control
needle
carburetor. It is surely too high, so there is too much gasoline coming in. Lower it.
- Check the seals of the
Air adjusting screw
. Replace them if they are in bad condition.
- Replace your
idle jet
.
CAUTION: Carburetor adjustment is a very complex operation. Sometimes it is difficult to find the perfect setting. You can get closer to a
two-wheeler professional
who will be able to help you.
If the idling problem persists, it could be another type of fault, more serious than a carburetion problem. Here are some possible failures:
- Your engine starts to force r. the
piston
force maybe in the
cylinder
.
- The
spinnaker seals
flee.
- The
engine gaskets
are out of order (upper engine and lower engine).
To prevent your engine from squeezing, we recommend that you do a full engine check.
