    Hi guys.

    Just fitted a replacement carb. I've turned the pilot screw out 1 and a bit turns as stated in the book. Just taken her out for a blast and she gets to 30 eventually but it's a bit boggy on the acceleration. She eventually kicks in and flies away but then bogs down again. Is it simply a case of turning the screw out a bit at a time and keep trying it until she runs smooth or could I be missing something?

    Any advice gratefully received.

    Sounds like your flooding!,
    Check your float valve needle is o.k.,(seating o.k.,no debris preventing of!),-(could cause un/controlled flow of petrol),
    Make sure your float isn't holed (leaking will cause increase in fuel level),
    Check float height operating tang,
    Make sure your air filter is clean + inlet/outlet
    hoses unobstructed,
    Make sure your choke is operating o.k.mark.

    my aerox had the same problem would bog down to 30 or so then fly off, i upjetted and lowered my rollers.
    Also i played around with the idle screw and the air mixture screw until it was running nicely just leave the bike running and you'll beable to hear the difference
