bike started first press today and again the usual running for 30 seconds before cutting out, mate suggested float heights? ive tweaked them slightly then flattened the battery trying to start the bloody thing, ( been starting on and off for days ). try again in the morning and see what happens Andy

Hi, new member and first post. just picked up a 1992 sr 125 ( for work ) it starts fine but after 30 seconds or so it will die then wont start again for maybe a minute changed the plug ( sprayed ht leads and coil ) and stripped the carb (looked clean ), blowing all the jets out and putting back together starts again straight away then will run for 30--60 seconds ( holding throttle on ) then cuts out (sometimes it will pop just as it cuts out) there was an aftermarket inline fuel filter fitted which works ok and let fuel through, i removed it anyway and replaced with a straight piece of rubber tube and this has helped slightly but it still cuts out, cant get it to run long enough to set the idle, the mixture screw ( sort of recessed bottom of carb ) is set to 2.5 turns out??? im guessing this is wrong as all the little bikes ive had have been 1.5 turns out? old plug was jet black and already the new one is getting little black deposits on it bike has 23k on it, any advice greatly appreciated cheers Andy
