Tiggie

Self taught with a lot of online help I am not in the same league at all as Stu, Megawatt, EAB and others on here but I have still done plenty of work to my bike and cars that a lot of people wouldn't have a clue how to do and would take to a mechanics. I don't like paying people to do work I feel capable of doing myself, whether its electrics, plumbing, mechanical or whatever. So I do the research and ask the questions then just get on with it. If you feel confident enough get a haynes manual for your bike, start off with the easy stuff like changing oil, adjusting chain, brake pads etc, , ask questions on here if you get stuck. As someone mentioned, Alan (megawatt) is very competent with a lot of experience and is currently trying to do a bit of drive-by-spannering where he would teach you the basics as he works http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=61049

strip the carb and spray some carb cleaner through all the jets. They are tiny pin hole openings on the jets so it really doesn't take much to block them.

Pull the plugs and have a look at them, if they are bone dry It will probably be a fuelling issue like EAB said. If they are wet then it could be you aren't getting a spark. take them out and ground them against the engine, start bike up and look for a spark. Try all the easy solutions first before stripping everything down

Have you tried new spark plugs? Easiest way to loosen seized engine I know is to take the spark plugs out, put a few drops of oil down the cylinders. let it soak in for a while then rock the bike back and forth whilst in gear to try and free it or just strip the engine and you'll soon see if its seized

I do like a blonde joke

thank god the rally isn't this weekend or all the bloody Brexit talk would of gotten so heated the mods would of needed to get out their ban hammers!! In other news my costume is ready
