Thats normal of course, it takes a few yard to fill the bowl enough to cover the jets

Paint it, save a fortune " Im ringing around looking for quotes to powdercoat the frame near Wolverhampton, i was just going to rattle can it but considering im probably going to keep this little bike until i am old and crusty it makes more sense to get it all done right from the start and not have to worry about it." Eh, not a valid argument, you'll only use it rarely and the rest of it's cosseted life will no doubt be indoors, anyway rattle can done well is more durable than you give credit for and hey not to mention job satisfaction

Some nice bits there steve esecially thr rear sets whats the mesh is it a rad cover?
-
what dirtydt means here is compression is aided by a film of oil in the bore and around the piston / rings. Repeated attempts to start can mean that the petrol washes this oil away and to some degree the 'seal' needed to aid compression is lost so compression is reduced. Try squirting a little engine oil down the spark plug hole to improve the seal and maximise compression. Attemp to start with choke and little or no throttle

Nice little intro Kim, welcome in fella
-
you'd have to remove the casing and also have the correct tools to remove the flywheel Andew, cant be too specific...i'm not familiar
-
if there's any chance the chain stopped the engine turning suddenly (which it seems likely) then maybe you should check the flywhhel woodruf key hasnt sheared. If it has, this could be a reason for a poor spark
-
you've been asked this before ...did the incident lock the engine...a very sudden stop?
-
keep up the good work Jack, ya gotta start somewhere and if it's what interests yo go for it fella, the go pro is a good camera, just need some good subject matter next...give it time and dont be disheartened by some of the feedback you get

BTW chains 'stretching' is a myth...they wear the drier they are, the quicker they wear...

I can only assume the £75 is because they are painted, it takes an awful long time to strip painted parts using paint stripper and aqua blasting, I've had quite a few barrels and heads done this way but this week I took two barrels to the aqua blasters and only paid £30 the pair, ....and they're aircooled so more work needed. I stripped the paint off myself this time and benefitted from a fast turn around. Get youself some 'synstrip' it's the only stripper that seems to work nowadays and soak the barrels for 1 1/2 hours in the stuff followed by a jet wash. in the past It's cost me £20 just for one cyl head because of the time it took!

Jeez thats a bummer about the yoke Drew But air rifle practice , your scouts do cool stuff man but, ahem when I was in the scouts we went to shoot real rifles at the army range

+2 with the neutral switch...neutral light? C'mon Andrew, chains break through neglect...I'm not preaching, I've done it too!

Rub it down, rattle can it with high zinc primer, top coat with something like black frame paint http://yambits.co.uk/black-frame-paint-p-32020.html

Nice one Stuart, good to see you back in the fold and heres to a summer like the last one for you to get some miles in
-
Nice one Numan, you're gonna have to get another shed built
-
have you got the bike home? Have you got a charger? BTW, putting the side stand down when the bike is 'in gear' WILL cut the engine, it's a safety feature so you cannot ride with the stand down and maybe come to grief on the first left hand bend you come to.
