    Hey there people, ive got my speedfight on the road and after a few days of using the standard exhaust i upgraded to a race exhaust. as soon as i fitted it, the ped started up fine. Then i left it a night in my cold shed and now it wont start :( its got a crappy open air filter (k&n) which used to be a bugger to start on standard exhaust. Any ideas?

    buy a tin of carb cleaner, remove the k&n, spray a quick blast of carb cleaner into the intake of the carb as you turn the motor over. this should get it going.

    tbh, i would run the standard air box and filter and jet up/down to that. with my experiance, i have found that you really need a lot of tuning to use see the benefits of using filter cones.
