    hi all

    So my bike has been running spot on until the beginning of the week and now it won't run atal

    My set up is

    70cc pro sport kit
    Standard crank
    Motoforce 19mm carb 94 main jet
    Malossi cone filter that has the cover
    6.75 rollers
    Stage6 exhaust
    Stage6 inlet manifold
    Motoforce coil pack
    Running premix

    All was fine until Monday night riding home it had a little cough and splutter but didn't think anything of it as still ran fine

    Next day on the way to work warmed up and idled fine got down the road at full throttle and spluttered than cut out, would start up fine but as soon as I went to ride it past 1/4 throttle about 10mph it would splutter and cut out.

    Pushed it to work replace the fuel tap as it was original and needed doing, stripped carb and cleaned it

    Checked piston and cylinder no visible score marks

    Put it back together and started fine let it was up and problem is still present

    I went down jets in stages to 86 and didn't really make that much of a difference

    Only thing I have done since it was running perfect was top fuel up and used different 2 stroke oil than I usually do (usually use castrol but petrol station only had motal, or similar from texaco)

    I'm now lost at what my problem could be?

    Reeds, manifold leak, air filter (try with it off)(in dry weather)
    Do a compression test.

    I sprayed around the inlet with brake cleaner and there was no change in running to suggest a leak

    Reeds look ok with no bends or damage in them, I do have a spare set that I will try

    I done a compression test and it was 7.3 bar about 106psi

    I don't know what the compression should be

    Checked wiring and found no visible breaks or corrosion

    Going to get new cylinder gaskets
