    Alright fella's, as it goes is i stripped my bike about a week ago for a respray and the water frozen, i have since brought it in the house and let it defrost naturally!.. I have now finished the re-spray and tried to start it.. with and without choke it starts but cuts out straight after with a backfiring puff, have not had a look at it yet as its 25 past 2 in the morning lol.. might the carb need bleeding or could it be something to do with the water freezin in the first place. Any ideas lads before i start messing about with it tommorow?.. Thanks

    UPDATE !!!

    I have taken off my carb theres no blockages and is very clean, checked reed valves and there ok.. Just about to check spark plug but it started up before i stripped it for the respray so i can not see how it could be the spark plug but thought i would check anyways.. Any ideas what it could be.. and if it could be something im missing due to it freezin.. Also checked the cases and they dont seem to be cracked!.. Any advice will be appreciated.
