dip a rag in some petrol and give it a rub with that or use some carb cleaner spray

sound cheers mate thanx for the help/advice

well have got the choke plungers out cleaned them, greased them only round the springs is that right, have put it all back together and hey presto it works cant believe it i,m a mechanic now lol (is wish). anyway waiting to take it for a run just to make sure its ok but fingers crossed. my revs off the choke are around 1000 is that right or do i need to turn them a fraction as it still stalls from time to time.

When cold, your engine might idle at about this speed. Get the bike out, go for a ride to warm the engine up (10 - 15 minutes should do), then adjust the idle till its at about 1400 rpm...the manual states anything between 1300 and 1500 rpm idle With each adjustment of the idle adjuster, blip the throttle

how stiff should the knob be that you turn (no rude comments please lol), mines quite stiff am concerned about bustin it.
