To be honest I'd never start cracking carbs open if the bike is running fine.

My other post may have been misleading, it was running fine while it was being used but it's been stood since just after the AR and runs a bit lumpy.

Opened them up and thought they looked fine (untrained eye) but after getting the old carb cleaning spray around it all it's much cleaner than it was.

So when I get the new diaphragms it should be sorted.

But I must admit it was partly due to "If you don't try, you'll never learn"

Oh she loves it to bits, great bike just not too interested in riding any more.

I think it's just one of those things she wanted to prove to herself that she could do, and by god she could.

So the BabyBlade will also be getting the treatment and going but so will my FireBlade (I just want some cash for mine so I can buy more tools )
