Misfire help
Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 9:27 am
Heygood people
I have a little niggle that has popped up on my 2011 PCX 125.... Yesterday I decided to do a service as it was almost due. Changed the oil, air filter and spark plug. I couldnt do that oil strainer as it just wouldnt come off and I didnt want to force it. Today I have noticed the throttle response has improved but after a couple of miles riding I noticed a slight misfire when I stopped at a set of lights. It may have misfired before but I cant be sure as I wasnt paying attention. The misfire is noticeable at stop or just taking off where it takes a fraction of a second longer to respond to throttle than ususl.. But this doesnt happen every time tho.... The misfire is noticeable at stop but once away I dont notice it...All the stuff came from a Honda dealership that sells everything for a service on fleabay as a kit so I doubt anything is out of spec.
Only hiccup I can think of is, its a brand change of oil (used to be castrol, now motul) and the other thing was the oil had leaked slightly in the delivery bag and there was a bit on the plastic bits of the air filter which I cleaned out. I couldnt notice any oil on the actually air filter element itself.... but perhaps there was some..
On a side note, I did take off the exhaust, sand down surface rust and repainted with very high temp oil but I doubt that was the issue. I have just added that on here just in case anyone thinks that may be a contibuting factor...
Any help would be appreciated....
