    hi all, i have a 97 thundercat and its been layed up for a little over a year and ran perfect when i parked it up but since resurecting her in feb this year its had a rough tick over and spluters when on low revs but seems to run perfect on over quarter throttle, ive had carbs to bits and could not see any dirt also changed both coil packs but no diference, checked plugs and swapped them around to see if any change but still same, it seems the problem is with cylinders 1 and 3 as leaving the bike on tick over and checking temp of down pipes they seem lot cooler than 2 and 4 and also when had carbs to bits i ran bike with no petrol tank or airbox and proceeded to smother the intake of the carbs on 1 and 3 and it ran slightly higher revs for few seconds then went back to normal but if try block either 2 or 4 then engine cuts out!!! running out of ideas now so any info would be great, petrol is getting in to all cylinders when you rev it but just seems not on anything less than quarter throttle, should i try getting some second hand carbs of the bay or from breakers or somwere like that or has any body any ideas, as i say was running perfect when parked it up just over year ago so dont think its worn carbs but i have tried giving them clean as best i can and there was no sign of any dirt in any of them when strippped, somebody help!!!!!! pleeeeeeeeeeze!!!!
  2. hi all, i have recently bought a dt125lc mk3 in blue/yellow for my son, all that i know about the bike is it has never been regitered before as its been used as a farm bike, its all still intact and apart from no rear indicators cant see why wouldnt go through an mot, my main questions are, 1)does anybody know how i would go about registering this bike on the road as dont know exact year of manufacture, and if its an import do i need import papers(im only thinking its an import as speedo reading in kph), 2) the bike has gold wheels and ive never seen one of these with gold wheels before, are they common? any help or advise would be great, thanks.
