    The malossi 21 mm carb has a different fitting of manifold
    so have to stick with original .
    The carb is causing problems as the choke cable is too big for the
    Slot ...
    The bike ran & 'then cut off

    Took carb off noticed Carburettor throttle return spring dry and worn out
    Tipped liquid out of floot
    Cleared the jet with the needle Now is see through . Un blocked
    started up .
    So now checking cooling thermostat for the open position hopefully
    Valve will open before boiling point .
    Checking the make of brake pads to order fresh !
    Looked for two wires on radiator but couldn't see any
    Drain radiator hoses
    Fuel. Check vacuum opens diaphragm inside tap
    Re fit new filter Order with brake pads !
    Next check air filter
    Measure the resistance between the terminals on the choke unit
    & plunger hasn't seized

    None.
    im pretty sure that's meant to be like that the way it splits so panels are easier to take off ?

    just change the hoses and get a quick action throttle there a lot better than standard I think.

    if not a lot of compression id be looking at piston rings and gaskets etc not the head itself at first.

    removed the handle bar covers ready for loading fresh oil need new sealing washers .Lift the reservoir away from handlebar attach a clear hose to the bleed valve bleed valve carefully pump the brake lever 3-4 times tighten the bleed valve then release the brake lever gradually .may use a syringe to avoid troublesome air locks​
