  1. Sorry shakey, missed your post and sure didnt see any blokes in pink leathers, still...had a good time anyhow ...Paul
  2. ok, me and blackhat met up as planned, great to finally meet you John. Had a good day out and drooled over some stunning bikes 'like you do', here's a pic of us sampling the free hospitality at the Jawa owners club stand where the 'wags' were in national costumes. Well that's about it for this year as far as shows go! roll on summer.
  3. But rich running would give black smoke not blue (and rough running), burnt oil gives blue, either from piston / bore wear or valve seals wear.
  4. Hi, some of the riders at my local TRF (Trail riders Fellowship) group use them I think, why not send them an email and ask there [email protected] ...Paul
  5. The large screw is the 'throttle stop, or tickover. or idle adjuster' screw. The small one is the mixture screw and should lie around 1.5 turns out from gently closed. Normally you would expect the following 1: mixture screw too rar clockwise = lumpy idle.(Rich) 2: mixture screw too far anti-clockwise = too fast idle.(Lean) manuals are readily available on ebay (in uk anyhow)
  6. sent it
  7. Hard to find but weve had this before, your email? I will send you one
  8. But theres a set of Jog forks on ebay right now, £49 posted...Here It all depends on how much work you want to put in or if youre up to the job, the trouble is factory trained mech are £££'s per hour, did you check round your local smaller bike shops, or can you strip and check the forks yourself, you will need to be pretty competant though, dont attempt it otherwise but you could save money. Having said all this it IS your mates responsibility so dont let him take the piss eh!
  9. Fancy a burger at Keele services Blackhat?
  10. Sounds like the starter relay/solenoid to me, as a way of eliminating it try bridging it with a jump lead when its mis-behaving. This is of course depends on whether it has two pillars (connections)
  11. ok , its a known problem, weve got some kind of a glitch...I will pass it on to Alex (Alexigno) ...Paul
  12. lol, you need to stop saying........"Like This"

    Cant see it being an issue so long as the chain slack is ok, for a few days anyway. After all its a low powered bike innit

  18. They will be escapee's...Chester...the land of milk and honey?
  19. Do Souffle's have eyes then??..is it a potato souffle? try a rubber band around the base of IT
  20. Hmm I see what you mean, Ive sent Alex (Alexigno) a message, he's not on all the time so may have to wait a short while for an answer. ...Paul
  21. Dunno about the upgrades but welcome to the forum Funny avatar...got me singing it now
  22. well its almost certainly a blocked pilot jet or a blocked air jet. What affect does running with the choke out have, if its ok now then its a blocked pilot jet, if its still no use then maybe a blocked air jet.
