havin problems with me bike, cuts out all the time, it wont idle and cuts out when you try to pull away, ive changed the plug and checked evarything on the carb and all looks fine, ash has sed it may be one of the jets playin up, it was previously sat for a while and so i think the petrol has gone stale, i have since ran the bike a bit n hopefully its flushed thru to the fresh fuel, im just short of takin the carb out, but not too sure what im doin, would any1 be intrested in takin a look n tryin to sort for me if i pay? cheers jim |

What bike is it ? eg 2 stroke / 4 stroke etc. Petrol doesn't go 'stale' as such, but it's octane level can drop and it can cause a varnish to build up on various components. You could try fresh fuel, or something like FORTE injector cleaner to clean the entire fuel system. http://www.forteuk.co.uk/Specialist_Injector.htm |

if i was you it sounds like a blocked jet try removing the air filter so you can get your hand over the carb intake start it up rev it up to about 3000 to 4000 rpm and then just put your hand over the carb intake the suction this will cause will remove any obstructions there is you only need to do it for a second or two or there is a good man in poole that does bikes from home he comes highly recommended his name is derek 01202676576 |

I think there were quite a few different models made of these 2 stroke bikes. 1988 onwards? the other thing it could be is that the Gauze filter in the petrol tap can get pretty cloged up with paint Paint chips, bits of Dust and also Rust. Turn the Tap off and unscrew the little cap clockwse, i think there made of alloy some are plastic, the Gauze filter is in there. |

That's not bad for the money The Needle should come with the tiny metal 'C' clip that goes in the slots, place this on the middle slot, that means it's on factory setting. If by some chance the 'C' Clip fails to turn up you can have one that i found in the Garage. ![]() If you've Oiled the cable/checked for snagging at the Throttle and there's no change in the tickover it'll mean you'll have to get that Jet out (the one that's stuck) as that will be the cause. I couldn't believe the old HT Cap also had something to add too :rolleyes: Nearly there Jimbob |
