    ok so i was riding on my old typh 70 once, and at a set of lights on the a40 (the ones at north acton just before the hill to be precise) a pizza guy pulled up on his 125 wankstroke pizza ped.
    turns out he wanted a race, so after i battered him i was still full throttling (had been goin for about a minute flat out) and it just cut out. it did it a couple of times before but it always starts straight back up after so what could it be??
    i thought maybe the cdi was shorting out at max revs or sumthing but i dunno!
    someone giv me a clue wat this was coz ive always wanted to know why the f**k it did this
    o yh and how long is it safe to full throttle on a 70 for (polini sport wc) because with the 50 o have now i just hold it open all day long but im scared that wen i fit my kit i might get a bit greedy for speed and blow the cunt up.
    :D :D :D

    erm ages it depends if it overheats. runs out of oil, or the kit just falls apart from over revving

    so is there no chance of the cdi or something electrical just getting fried

    not really no. if one fails it fails doesnt matter if you doing 10 or 70

    maybe your throttle is out of the throttle housing....

    happened to me once on my old runner so i took the panels out and put the housing back together and started up perfectly

    best way to check is to see what postion the slider is at in the carb
