Just a quick update, sorry i havn't been on for a while. I said before the needle valves needed adjusting but it was actually the pilot screws, sorry but when i did adjust them to 1 1/2 no fuel was getting thruogh at all so i'm thinging the carbs are supposed to be set up like this. But my uncle got it to fire a couple of times by spraying some carb cleaner in the air box, as it is very flamable so we think the carbs arent letting the right amount of petrol through and he's taken them to clean out thoroughly at work.

Cheers

Hello sorry i havn't replied for a while, after extensive trial and error the bike started again when i sprayed carb cleaner in the air box (i know thats not good for it), which only worked a few times and then just stoppped completely again and wont start with or without it although it fires on some cylinders with the carb cleaner in it sometimes. I thought there might be something wrong with the carbs then as it seemed not to be getting the right mixure and after trying to clean them for ages just bought another set from a bike being broken, but it is exactly then same! :(

I realy don't know what to do

Any help?

Thanks

Dan

try cleaning the plugs, carb cleaner has probably mucked them up,

but you'll need to sort out your carb issues, as it sound like thats your problem
