  1. could the exhaust be blocked? any way of removing the silencer and checking?
  2. If its hard to see 1: you should be able to do it with a spoke key 2; I wouldnt expect it to cause any nervousness (shimmering) ? Maybe its out of balance, lift the wheel off the ground and does the wheel always turn to the same spot? brake drag can interfere with this test though and it is best done with wheel out if you have that. What about tyre pressure too, low pressure especially in the front can cause trouble as can play in the swing arm bearing
  3. me neither, is it a little 2 stroke scooter twist and go jobbie Dave? Can you give a little more detail on the fuel delivery to the carb...are you 100% happy with that? is it a vacuum operated tap or not?
  4. How bad is it though, any flat spots or just a little out of true? The latter could be improved with a spoke key I suppose but if badly buckled you would need to have a hydraulic press to straighten it
  5. Greetings Razor.
  6. I assume nobody who knows read this...we arent a shop, a garage, a diagnostics centre that works for free, just a bunch of enthusiasts. I doubt if people who know the answer would ignore your plea. Good luck and if you find a way let us know so we might be able to annswer something similar in future An adjustment of attitude would be appropriate here.

  18. Post a good picture of the carb adjusters and we'll gave a guess, unless someone who knows shows up, or better still get a haynes manual?
  19. Just take it to your local under the arches type of car repair shop, tell tham you are a poor student and need it for uni, they will test it for a packet of fags

  22. I'm not too keen either, exhaust may be hard to find and as Cynic said...no MOT? I would prefer a good one and a runner, it will be interesting to see what it goes for
