Pity the clip stopped before the truck driver caught up with him to call him a twat

I'd be splattered! And I think on any other day he would of been too!!

[mention]fastbob[/mention] Possibly it had one originally and was replaced with a non-vacuum one . Would explain why its capped off

Just found this picture on google of your make of bike

Same here, How many hoses are connected to the petcock? that looks to me like there should be one going from the part [mention]Richzx6r[/mention] has highlighted to the petcock

Before playing about anymore it might be worth just checking to see if fuel can actually flow out of the tank and into the carb. If you find it reaches the carb then pull the carb and clean the bowls, floats, jets etc (take pictures!) If fuel isnt reaching the carb then it could be a blocked fuel filter or petcock issues. I'd be pulling the hoses and seeing if fuel actually flows from the petcock by sucking on vacuum hose while pointing fuel hose in a safe place

Crankcase breather perhaps or similar?

It should look a lot like that as its a picture of one from a pulsar 125 I saw on eBay

look like this

Have a look at the air intake to make sure its not blocked in some way. In fact while you are there spray a bit of wd40 inside the intake while trying to start it (works like easy start but safer for engine) just to see if that helps. If it starts from doing that it could well be a fuelling issue (as [mention]Richzx6r[/mention] said, are the plugs wet? if not then it definitely sounds like a fuelling problem)

yep 3 shillings The / was used to divide between shillings and pence so 3 shillings 6 pence would be 3/6

I had that sony one second from bottom right!! I miss how phones used to all look different. There was flip-phones, sliders, clamshells, ones that rotate, bricks etc

Without knowing your competence at mechanical things I'm hesitant to mention things to do! Cleaning, Adjusting & lubing the chain is usually a good starting point. As mentioned see if you can get the haynes book or try searching online for the service manual in pdf form. Youtube is very useful as well.

[mention]fredc[/mention] it saves wear on the brake disks. After all, those things are expensive

Bad day box is the most accurate to me!

just been googling, apparently anodized aluminum is ok.

Saw these on a facebook group and thought I'd share

I put a bit of copper grease on the back of the pads, I also put a little on the threads of the pin that goes through the pads as I once had a completely seized pin that needed drilling out

Mine were about an inch higher on one side (probably happened when it got stolen) never even noticed until it was time for mot. My mechanic told me to do it and I trusted him enough I'd say as long as they aren't too far out of whack you will be absolutely fine to bend them back

It wasnt me that put it in!! I told her over and over not to do it but she 'forgot' I was bloody livid when I saw it in there!!!

How badly are they bent? if bad then ignore me but if its just a little you can get a scaffold pole and bend it back into shape
