jamierxs100 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Bought this bike on Saturday without knowing anything about bikes, just passed my CBT and loved the look of this bike so much that I had to get one. As I didn't know what I was doing its been a steep learning curve. This morning I didn't even know what a carburetter was. here's a list of repairs/issues I think I've identified: Fuel tap does not fully shut off fuel line leaking - temp fixed and ordered replacement carb overflow does not stop leaking fuel no air filter air filter housing has had hole cut into it - ordered replacement from a breaker rust/ dirt in fuel tank revs 3000 at idle - resolved oil tube that goes to carb was leaking - fixed this apart from whats listed above seems ok.

jamierxs100 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 nearly there now I hope, New fuel tap, fuel line fitted carb cleaned - now its clean and with new fuel tap seems to only overflow if tap is left on, will keep an eye on this replacement air filter box installed (from breakers) rust/ dirt in fuel tank - I'm using hammerite rust remover revs 3000 at idle - resolved now at pretty constant 1500ish oil tube that goes to carb was leaking - fixed this waiting for filter element to arrive and need to put gas tank back on tomorrow. after all this lot should be ready to rock and roll.
