Moderator Airhead Posted January 27, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi Mark, Just try pulling out the choke as you throttle up, if it works ok now , sounds like a carb strip and clean to me, make sure all the jets are clean, dont forget the needle jet and all the little air bleed holes in the side of it, you can get an aerosol carb cleaner from your local motor factors shop.

gabby Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i,d give the chain on oiling too, check the tyre pressures, probably an idea to go over the checklist in the manual if you have one, then a good blast to blow the cobwebs away....
