carb supposedly cleaned might need recalabrating plugs are new bought a second hand carb for it and made it worse plus when you start it its like no fuel is going through and you have to keep pumping the throttle.



trust me mate its a pain and very embarrasing :cry:

I offered you the carb off my motor and you said you couldn't get down here for it. Just letting you know mate if you need any bits,sensors,pipework for yours that control the carb ,i have ripped the m10 heart out of mine now and all the bits are for free. Drop in on the way to Gosport and you can have the lot carb ,dizzy, starter motor ,exhaust ,etc. Just a thought mate cos i know what its like to be skint :cry:
Regards
John

ok mate quite easy realy there is a little hole on the underside of the mirror inside there was a kind of cog thingy basically i just put a phillips screwdriver in the hole and moved the cog thingy i think anti clockwise tiped the mirror upsidedown and it fell out
i hope that makes sense
