    new problem has now sprung up got a feeling its the gasket but just to make sure ill exp;ain the problem to the forum.
    The problem started last night after it wouldnt start at my mates after being left for a few hours, So this morning i took the carb apart and cleaned it/ made sure everything was in the normal place.
    Started fine off the electric start first time and went out for a ride i got about half a mile before i herd a loud pop so i pulled over but it was idleing fine so i carried on but whenever i throttled it just died and popped as it died. anyone have any ideas?
