will do cheers, shame were all 3-4000 miles apart, no ones really in to them round here, be good to go to a few outings with you lot and find out the ins and outs and obviously have a good burn up

whats a tommey?

all help appreciated, il have another look tommorow and up the jets some more as far as i can go.

tell you what, grab a flight to the uk, and come see for yourself, do ur own plugchop for all i care, but it is what i say it is, i wouldnt f*ck about with fueling, i know full well what the consequences are. the moto x shop i bought the parts from advised me that they ran a standard jet on a...

for starters its a 240 piston, ive measured it, measured the bore, im not complaining, it runs great, better than it did when stock infact, yeah the carbs prob on its limit but it runs great now and is alot faster than it was before. and yeah done the reeds.

problem sorted! after alot of faffing around with jets, exhausts, needle heights i found the problem. when changing the jet i noticed the emulsion tube where the jet screws in could move up and down. but theres no grub screw just a pressed in brass pin as a retainer, so gave that a few firm taps...

ok will do tommorow cheers

the only thing ive changed engine wise is the piston and cylinder with new gudgeon pin and bearing etc

yes the lid was on, is it worth putting a k and n on but retaining the lower half of the airbox without a lid? il try running it without a lid on see if it makes any difference, really did sound like it was suffocating itself somewhere

f**k sake, so the head could possibly be making contact with the piston? it does sound slightly knocky too be honest but nothing major, ive heard a ajp v8 cerbera engine knocking before from where another garage got the deck height wrong and when warm the pistons came into contact with the head...

its a standard carb, evrythings standard apart from the big bore kit! the local company i got it off said that the last one they done ran best on a standard 230 but i might need a next size up or 2? bearing in mind it is still a standard exhaust! im wondering if its blocked up as it did seem...

oh yeah forgot to say that one of the reeds is a bit slack on the tip but it still ran much better when one cracked really bad before??? i shall replace them anyway just to be sure, dont know if they have to be different reeds or the cage has to be modified nows its a 240? cheers

cheers guys much appreciated, i shall try that tomoz and inspect the air filter, pretty sure thats ok tho. might go for a k and n type if you guys think its worth it? whats a decent exhaust upgrade to go for? theres nothin really going here in the uk lol. :)

hi there all new here, just wondering if anyone might have an idea as to whats causing my problem. basically my piston on my blaster discintergrated and ive just replaced everything with a new vito's 240 big bore kit, new small end bearing, gudgeon pin. ive just ran it up and it seems to idle ok...
