    hey after fitting my 70 kit my bikes running but takes well over half hour to be able to drive without choke

    it wont pull away just dies and when i let go of accelerator when cornering an pull it back it goes to die unless i hit the choke

    anyone know what the problem could be?

    i also disconnected the 2 pipes goin to the carb and looped them maybe this?

    cheers [/i]

    Sound like either your jets are blocked or you need a bigger pilot jet and probably a bigger main jet.

    Clean the carb out and make sure your jets are clear. Failing this take your spark plug out and see what colour it is, if its very dry and a light brown/white colour then you need a bigger main jet.

    I presume that the two pipes you looped are were the water goes from the head. If you have left the two pipes on the carb open, loop these too.
