Airhead

So if everything is there, would it not be wise to see if it can be got working before going down the 'awkward' pre-mix path? First check if the pump is stroking, with the engine idling, turn the pulley by hand the same way the cable would turn it on open throttle, watch the pump you should see it stroking.

That was a stroke of luck...good one...

Well when I read the thread it said I was doing 40 into a nasty bend On a wet road With a girl on the back not wearing a helmet with shot brake pads is this not neglect in your book?...sorry you dont think I was welcoming but sometimes things just need saying.

so is the pump, tank, piping and operating cable fitted to the bike?

As far as I know it does, i think drewpy is referring to the engine kill switch, usually found somewhere on the right hand controls. Take a multimeter between battery positive and an engine mount bolt, see if you get battery voltage, If not check battery pos to neg, if you now get battery voltage you must have a bad battery neg to chassis connection.

Good to hear youre OK and happy, and good luck with the Exams, see you on the other side...

Hi spuddy, read the sticky in the for sale section "Posting in this section"

So more dummy out of the pram shit from you, take a week off and polish your fucking diploma you slapped arsed twerp, I dont give a shit if you dont come back after your little holiday.

First point is to keep an eye on the plug colour but 115 jet would be about right in the 125MX. As for the noisy silencer, is it the type that is fitted to my bike These silencers need re-packing occasionally, you can buy new packing material, see picture, you need to pack it tightly around the central baffle tube and you will notice quite a reduction in the noise output...

Looks great you did a great job there but sh!t man youv'e oversprayed all over the jeep

I stand by what I said I think your brakes wore out and spat the pads out because youre a twat and dont look after your bike, and also give scant regard to others safety the fact that it was 1 in the morning makes toss all difference, you may have not noticed that i'm a moderator here and your'e on thin ice, you have been warned.

Hi Kev, get yourself a carb synchronising gauge and set the carb balance....Thats my guess...

Here it is http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?...pic&t=65763

You need to strip and clean the carb again, the fact that it works fine with choke and not without choke suggests fuel starvation, give it a good clean examine the jets carefully for blockages or restictions, use a good magnifying glass if necessary as its not easy to see through some of the small holes. Also use an aerosol carb cleaner and compressed air to blow through the small passageways in the carb...Best of all have it ultrasonic cleaned. Note if you do use carb cleaner, remove items that have rubber components or 'O' rings such as choke plunger and air mixture screw first, keep carb cleaner away from these parts. When its clean check and set the float height to specification.

What happens if you put the choke on as you open the throttle?

Neglect! The same neglect that allows a passenger to be on the back without a helmet.

Welcome to the forum Joe, sorry I cant help with the TR1 but for what its worth you should be able to see the effect of the spring on the gear lever as you move the lever each way, do haynes do a manual for this bike?

That sounds the same set up as my DT175MX (79) key to the right and switch on left hand control, with left hand control off = Pilot only, on = headlight
