Is that two tappet nuts needed for the KM100:001_rolleyes::lol:

 

Bloody thing:thumbdown:

 

Tappet nut would be good for the older KM100.

No, the newer 2011 machine very almost got pile-drived into the concrete yesterday.

For some reason it will work fine for a while but stop it and leave it for five minutes and it will then be impossible to start.

I expect you have tried it already, but the valve clearances are always an issue and should be checked first. Wide gaps mean that the valves are not open for long enough to completely scavenge the engine.

Check the plug gap, make sure its tighter rather than looser.

The mixture could be a little weak too, check the plug colour.
