Hey all,
I went to start my X2 last night after it was sitting on the trailor all day, and it was hydrolocked. Took the plugs out and the whole engine was full to the brim with FUEL. It's not the first time this has happened. The tank had been exposed to the sun for the day but the fuel cap was slighly loose. How come the fuel can enter the motor like that?
I've had the carby rebuilt twice with all new parts. I've never checked the pop-off accurately but with a bike pump it seemed ok.
I also have an issue where the engine will require 2 minutes of cranking before it will start, presumably the engine flooded with fuel while sitting. When it finally starts it runs rough and smokey as.
Any suggestions how I might rectify the problem?
Cheers!
