The first ever Motorbike treated with GTO that broke down after the first 5 minutes.... well, almost.
It was interesting to investigate what happened since it was the first time such a thing occurred after thousands of motorbikes have benefited from GTO already for the past 2 years. So we went to the owner to find out.
After hundreds of kick starting it, inspite of very good compression, ignition and fuel supply... the bike would not start. They said, it was running well then all of a sudden some noise came out of the engine and the engine stalled soonafter.
After telling the mechanic who specialize on these bikes that there is big backfire occurring all the time, he told us to check the chuck in the flywheel, he said it has probably loosened out of its place moving the entire timing out of synch. Whew! are we glad now that there is nothing wrong with our oil.
The owner smiled again and withdrew his judgement on our oil. Thanks be to God!
