ORIGINALLY. SOMEBODY DID COME AND JUMPED AT BUYING FOR ??1375. BUT AFTER ITS FIRST RIDE IT SHOWED UP PROBLEMS. THE BIKE STARTS NO PROBLEMS AND SOUNDS GREAT. BUT WHEN YOU REV UP TO ACCELERATE THE POWER DIES AS THOUGH ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. CHECKED A LOT OF THINGS. A BIT OF A MYSTERY! I HAVE JUST HAD THE CARBURETTOR PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND PUT BACK ON. BUT STILL THE SAME. IF YOU TAKE THE TANK OFF. AND THE AIR INLET UNDER THE TANK AND SIMPLY RUN WITH THE PETROL DIRECTLY THROUGH A PIPE. IT RUNS AND REVS PERFECTLY!!  ALWAYS STARTS FIRST TIME NO TROUBLE AND SOUNDS GREAT. TICKS OVER PERFECT. IF YOU REV UP AND LEAVE AN INTERVAL THEN IT IS OK. AS THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS. IT IS A LOVELY BIKE.  ITS NEEDS SOMEBODY THAT IS REALLY INTERESTED AND WHO HAS THE KNOWLEDGE TO RESOLVE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM SURE IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH STANDING UNUSED FOR 2 YEARS.

THIS BIKE HAS NOT BEEN RIDDEN FOR 2 YEARSHAD ITS FIRST RIDE THE OTHER DAY AND SEEMED TO BE LOOSING POWER AT TOP END. THOUGHT WE HAD RESOLVED. nbsp;BUT SEEMS TO BE INTERMITTENT IF YOU TAKE OFF ALL AIR INTAKE PIPES. RUNS PERFECT??THIS TO ME SAYS THE PROBLEM IS WITH FUEL/AIR MIXTURE. WHICH I AM CONVINCED MEANS IT NEEDS CARBURETTOR TUNING
