Batman Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 root of the problem was half red ex, n half carb needed cleaning. to be honest ive had to get my carb cleaned every other month due to coal dust from where i work, now i have a problem of a new spark plug, clean carb but with possible low compression, i am guessing it needs a new piston anybody know a cheap place for piston kits? also what else would i have to change in order to replace piston with a big bore 70cc kit and has anybody got any experience or views on this modification, i.e pros, cons, prices and source's of products. any info much appreciated!
Batman Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Al it was when i was going and slowed down then went to go again with the throttle, turned out to be carb =]
