  1. All sorted, been on a few shorter trips since the solution and absolutely no problems. Carb was rebuilt (was absolutely filthy, may explain why why the previous owner sold it cheap with almost no riding on it) valves etc replaced. Thanks everybody
  2. Thanks everyone, carb and valve is nackered and dumping fuel. Source and fit a replacement, just need to see how much it will cost now thanks again
  3. New here so apologies if this is in the wrong place, Around a year ago i bought the above as my first bike and it was occasionally cutting out when going into first or when idling over and i simply blamed myself for being brand new etc etc. However it still does it quite regular and its nearly always when coming to a complete stop then attempting to throttle on and set away. It gets around a quarter turn on the throttle and dies, It also takes a number of attempts to start up again and its not unknown for it to take a good 10-15 seconds before it will let me select a gear and pull away without dying (this is even when the engines hot after running for a good deal of time, not ideal when on a busy 2 lane roundabout and I'm sat there like a lemon cursing the 9 hells) Even when its idling if i don't apply any revs it will die when in neutral and sat still (although I'm not sure if this is simply the age of the bike and a common fault) Throttle and clutch cable have been adjusted, Passed an MOT a few weeks back and only ever uses Super unleaded petrol. I was thinking perhaps the carb needs a good clean out but being new I'm guessing. Any help is appreciated TIA
