Thank you very much! Very helpful! everything is ordered and should be here tomorro! The only 2stroke oil my local shop had was putoline mx5, mx7 & mx9, which should I use if any? And I'm at right in saying 75ml of oil to 5l of fuel? (At 1.5%) Also the clutch does not seem to work for the first few minutes untill warm but was told this was common?

So I've had my carb ultra sonic cleaned, fitted it to bike and it's finally running Basically want to get it ready to ride on Friday after being stored for over a year what do you guys advise? Was going to change oil, coolant, filter etc which oil should I be using? And how much? Also do they have a oil filter? Where the silencer meets the front pipe, should there be some sort of clamp holding them together as mine doesn't? Also the arm for the throttle cable onto of the carb is snapped on the end near the nut, should I replace? And should the arm be screwed tight into the top of the carb? Regards

Thank you so much, very helpful! This is also exactly what the local tails shop mechanic said! Taking the carb up to him tomorro for a proper clean out etc, I'm confident enough stripping and re-assembling but not really sure on checking the float height etc. Does anyone know what the idle and air screw should be set at or can someone link me to an owners manual so I can see how much oil etc to use when I service it. Regards

Thank very much for the quick replys, this was the first time I have ever stripped a carb so only Done what I was capable of doing. I think the best thing I could do is just take it the the local trails shop and see if they can fix it. But it must be sparking if it started today? How is that even possible after it wouldn't start for months and has been left standing for months? Almost a year! Could it have something to do with the float bowl that the petrol is coming from the overflow pipe?

Hi, new here, got myself a trails bike last year to ride over the winter as I race mx, basically when I out it away after the winter it wasn't running, iv just got it back out to fix ready for the winter and it started after a few kicks with no petrol in and I think the petrol was even turned off! It cut out and couldn't get it going again even when I put petrol in. When I put petrol in it came p***ing out of one of the pipes going down towards the back shock, guessing this is an overflow? I stripped the carb down and there was green stuff in the bottom of the float bowl and on the jet, green hard stuff. Cleaned everything up and still won't fire. Any help is much appreciated Regards
