I assume/am pretty sure this is a stroker autolube??, it will have been left lying a few years so the first step is too clean carbs as the fuel and oil if premix will have set up in them, oh if you wanna good cleaning i just bought a good ultrasonic bath so post em too me if ya want. DIY i suggest get every bit possible out of the carbs and soak in gunk or jizer, then bol in washing powder for a while suggest doing this when o women around for a couple of hours as they do not appreciate the smell of heated stale petroleum products in the kitchen or buy one of these to use in shed camp stove if autolube then i would drain oil tank and wash it out before adding fresh oil, then bleeding system run oil too pump by gravity,remove pipes from carb ends and turn over engine with kickstart or wheel on pump if fitted (plug caps off when the Bike has fuel in it eh) holding cable on pump in fully open position until oil come out of the pipes, have a good look in the tank if it is rusty clean it out with a tank cleaner/or some nuts bolts etc and a drop of parrafin and turn it over anf over too remove loose rust, or if it leaks i promise you this could be the best £26 ever spend it contains sealer cleaner and rust remover does a good job, do not be tempted by petseal it comes off use this POR15 I personally would strip engine and fit new crank seals, but it maybe they are ok and you just wanna get on with it and se if it goes. you may find that the piston rings are stuck in their grooves, remove pistons and soak in parrafin then carefully persuade them out gently does it though you do not wanna break em, then clean grooves and rings so they move freely check you have a spark it may need a good battery to get a spark, make sure its out of gear put some fresh fuel (I usually run a couple of liters of premix first on autolubes to ensure engine is getting oil) fuel in tank fingers crossed kick over you should have smoking exhausts after a few kicks merv

AIN'T IT THE TRUTH!!? Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG ). He put on a clean shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA ) After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA ) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO ) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN ) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with PETROL (from Saudi Arabia ) He then spent the rest of the day at the job centre, wondering why he couldn't get a f*****g job in England!

WHY MEN SHOULD NEVER WRITE AN ADVICE COLUMN; Dear Larry, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years! When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sheila ****************************** Dear Sheila: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors. I hope this helps,

Don't know if any of you guys have seen this but take a look - " URGENT ACTION NEEDED - by YOU! Apparently Transport for London are receiving very few comments from motorcyclists about the new London-wide TfL trial of motorcycles in red-route bus lanes. The latest news is that as part of the evaluation of the scheme 'users views' will be taken into account and 'numbers responding' will play a part in this. Clearly none of us want to see a situation where 5,000 cyclists have protested and 200 motorcyclists support. It's this kind of thing that would shift the political balance against us. However, cyclists campaign groups are steadily orchestrating a build up of resistance to the measure, being well organised at grass roots level in the capital and elsewhere. Tfl have already received large numbers of submissions from cyclists, opposing motorcycles in bus lanes. We risk losing the scheme at the end of the 18 month period unless the motorcycle world demonstrates widespread support for the measure. We urge all of you who read this to use this link to visit the TfL 'user views' website and complete the response form, which will take only about two minutes. please com0plete survey here All, if you're a member of any other bikers social networking site, could you start a thread on this? Please also use whatever other avenues for publicity that you have (owners clubs, other social networks, word of mouth, forward this email, etc). The cycle lobby groups are motivated and determined. They see denying motorcycles access to bus lanes as a number one key goal. They have a strong and well motivated campaigning local network. They will do all they can to achieve their goal. Unless we respond to this, we risk seeing this hard won concession denied to us after the experimental period has finished. The TfL scheme is being keenly watched outside London. Failure of the scheme in London will be likely to cripple our chances of getting motorcycles into bus lanes elsewhere. ******************************************************************************** *****************
