[QUOTE="saipan, post: 599757, member: 41686"] Hi, I bought my wife a 2001 Honda CR80 and for a few months it ran great. It is not up until about a couple of weeks ago that it started to develop problems. I'm running the fuel at 3:1 (3 oz oil to 1 gallon gas) The fuel to oil mixture is what the local expert recommended that I'd use. If I should use a better ratio, please advise. Now, the problem I've been getting is the difficulty to start the bike. Before you kick it once and it starts. However, now I had to work hard to get it started. Also, there is this backfiring that it does whenever I kickstart it. I read in some other forums that it could be the flywheel key or the CDI unit that could be causing the backfiring. Yet, on another forum they mention that it could be a plugged up exhaust or timing issue. I've changed spark plugs many times but I still get the same problem. Does anyone know what could be the problem before I start couging up some cash to buy parts? Could it be the fuel/oil mixture. I will clean the exhaust to see if that could be the problem. Any suggestion for a cure would be extremely appreciated. Thanks. saipan [/QUOTE]
