Plug fouling constantly

I had an early 70โ€™s yamaha 60 in the burnt red/orange color. Iโ€™m 62 now and donโ€™t recall much about it but I clearly remember I had to carry a spare plug and a wrench at all times because it fouled plugs all the time. I was to young to know that it was something that I probably could have fixed. Can anybody tell me what caused it and how I

Welcome to the site! there are quite a few reasons why your bike could have been running rich. Here are a few:


Common Causes of a Rich 2-Stroke Engine

  • Clogged or Dirty Air Filter:ย A restricted air filter chokes off airflow into the engine, increasing vacuum pressure that pulls extra fuel through the carburetor jets.

  • Incorrect Carburetor Jetting:ย Main or pilot jets that are too large for your elevation or temperature deliver an excessive volume of fuel.

  • Engaged or Stuck Choke:ย Leaving the choke partially or fully closed restricts incoming air and enriches the fuel mixture continuously.

  • Clogged Exhaust (Spark Arrester/Silencer):ย Carbon buildup or a blocked exhaust pipe restricts scavenging, trapping unburned gases and oil inside the cylinder.

Nice bike there. I have one the paint on the tank is stuffed . I bought it with a screeching noise coming from the gear selector side. It turned out to be the clutch thrust plate bearing stuck on the clutch bush spacer.

It starts and runs lovely. Great to see that.

Paint for the red JT2

I am getting ready to work on my JT2 and have been looking for the proper paint code. I have run in to a question, brilliant red 0063 seems to be what I can find online but that is a candy red that requires a silver base. That isn't right. Do you guys know that proper red? Thanks.

Hello, welcome to the site. I am a little confused. The 1972 Yamaha JT2 was Mandarin Orange. The 1971 Yamaha JT1/JT1L were Desert Orange. if you could clarify which model you have that would help in providing a response.

Torque Engineering Decals

Hey Devin,

I have what I believe to be a Torque Engineering Exhaust on one of my little JT mini enduros and I would like to order new decals from you but I am concerned that the heat shields may be smaller on this little pipe. Can you tell me the length and width of the two decals you offer?
