Taking it back to the garage tonight then see what the problem is (more money...) then im selling the thing

Hi, thanks for your reply. It still kicks over but wont start, and the wheel still turns. I dont think the carb was re-jetted when i got the bike back so i thought its lack of fuel because it wont kick over now, feels like its empty but its got a full tank

Right, ive recently had a complete engine rebuild with 43mm piston put in instead of a 39mm, i had a complete new crank, con rod kit the lot. The job was done professionally and cost quite a bit... The first day out i went up a rather steep hill and i was told not to go over 30 mph for the first 500 miles... i was aproaching the hill in 5th and it started to loose power going neeeeeeeeeeeee, so i knocked it down a gear and it did the same through all the gears. Got to second gear and it conked out and skided. I told the garage and they just said was it a big hill? i said yes then they said well keep an eye on it because it is only little 60cc not alot of power... So i thought nothing of it. Yesterday (2 weeks later) i was going along a straight in 5th doing about 40mph and it happened again several times in that day :/ i thought it was the carb not letting enough fuel into the engine because when it stops it kicks over straight away. I finally got to my destination and it conked out completly so i pushed it there, left it a few hours, went to go home and when i kick it doesnt do any thing (doesnt sound like theres any fuel in it at all pehaps the float??) I told my step dad and he said it sounds like its seizing ??? Help will be extremely apprieciated

Hi, im new to the forum Ive recently bought a 1985 DT50 MX, brilliant condition but all standard. I am not yet 16 but the old owner told me that it does 45mph which is ok but i wish to improve it Ive seen these Hy-Tec Reed Valves they're only £10, and promise to boost acceleration, are they as good as they say and are they hard to fit? Any other sugestions to upgrade the bike im all ears Thanks Sam
