Re: Keeps cutting out on tickover
 

Cheers everyone will have a play tonight, is it a big job to clean the carbs as i think the old petrol is the main problem guess you remove the tank, and air filter housing then what?

Re: Keeps cutting out on tickover
 

When mine had similar cutting out problems - it turned out to be nothing more complex than blocked up air filter. It was fine when taking "deep breaths" at high revs, but cut out on low revs.

Personally if you're not familiar with carbs, I wouldn't clean the carbs myself. I've watched them being done for years, but I wouldn't touch em with a barge pole, but thats just me!

I'm assuming by your last post you don't have a Haynes or Clymer Manual to hand, it would help you somewhat.

+1 DB Haynes or Clymer Manual invaluable tool or a mate with a bit of bike mech knowledge.

Got a Haynes manual somewhere will have to nunt it down.

Have you adjusted the idle speed yet as per the pic above?It needs to be a good 200 rpm higher than you have now.Basic stuff first before getting the Haynes out.
