Default Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.

Thanks for the reply.

It stops as if it's just run out of petrol, with no indication of roughness.

How difficult is it to get gaskets etc for a bike of this vintage?

It did develop a small oil leak after the drop. Semi crushed the radiator as well, but that isn't leaking.

I think it must be a carb fault. Not looking forward to dismantling those

Carbs off and a rebuild should help this.

One other thought

Does the engine stop suddenly or run a little rough before stopping? Would by any chance it have been run low on oil after you dropped it?
