    I would take them both to a proper locksmiths, (not the guy who works from a stall in the market if you get my drift), just to see if they can help out.

    Its a long long way down from some of them sports bike pillion seats, they might have to be lifted off the bike without the heels They sound more like more like an accessory than a passenger in all that matching gear

    I think sunrise graphics do them, look them up on't web
  16. My Dt175 starts with a flat battery, no problem. Thats because the electronic ignition is powered from the magneto, the battery ...is used for other things, like lights band indicators etc. However yours is not a DT175 so someone else will have to verify if yours is the same. Sorry cant be more help
  17. Check the main power cables to the starter relay, sounds like a loose / dirty connection, but as you have already said the battery may not be up to it. Matter of fact if it always starts ok from a car battery, then it must be the battery thats not up to the job!

    is this...Any good??
  20. Cant be far away from running, you need to sort out that carb though, seems that the float height needs adjusting or perhaps a new needle valve is needed, fuel level is much too high if its coming from the overflow If you do split the carb, dont forget to clean the pilot jet while youre in there, this could also give poor starting if its blocked

    Open a photobucket account Upload your pics there with each pic you will see four fields Copy the IMG field Paste into the forum Remember when I asked you that Goffy?
  22. Yes used to go through many years ago on my way up to the dales, lots of hills round there! But can you still ride on green lanes, many of them have been closed now
  23. So the fuel tap works well in prime, You dont know if it works in the other positions. I take it then that you are trying to run the bike then with the tap in prime position, are the plugs getting wet with fuel, Also im concerned about the HT leads just being pushed on to the plugs without caps, this cant be right theres always some sort of proper termination like it shows on This Diagram Item number 23
