sleazy rider

Wahay! Just played around with the idle screw and it started and will idle!! Been out on it just now still think theres something wrong though because its idling quite high and when i lowered it it cut out again..

thanks for the advice root! didnt rain luckily so dont think the bike has been wet, the guy I bought it off had it in the garage. He did say he rode it to work everyday for last year without problem but Im doubting this, it seems like i must have pretty bad luck for it to break 5mins after I get on it! He mentioned that it was off the road for 2 years previous to him owning it not sure if this has any effect? Ill look in manual about idle screw and try that first, then get new plug and let you know how i get on. A mate says he reckons its carb but after looking in manual it seems like it may be a bit advanced for me to tackle i dont wanna make it worse!! Anyway thanks for help so far!!

Sorry people, not a good start posting the same thing 5 times.... my computer froze up so i clicked too much. Sorry!

Hi,everyone. This is my first post so I will introduce myself. Im Lee, im 25, im from luton and yesterday i bought an sr125 from nottingham. When I viewed it it started first time, rode well and started fine again when i set off. I stopped to put L plates on it and it started fine again. Then i start the 100miles back home (at 9pm) and it cuts out when Im sitting at traffic lights. Doesnt start so im sitting there swearing and it starts up. I ride away and it does it again at next traffic lights. Refuses to start now, I bump-started it but it cuts out whenever the revs are low, it has no chance of idling. I managed to get it home it took about 3 hours and i was freezing. Anyway, anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I have haynes manual but next to no mechanical experience(change spark plugs but thats about it) Dont really want to take it to garage and pay what I bought it for again to get it fixed so I want to try myself but have no idea where to start. Have looked everywhere for other people with same problem but havent really found much help. If anyone has any advice for me I would much appreciate it!! Oh by the way I have tried it again today and same thing, will only bump start and cuts out before it will idle. What have I let myself in for?
