			I assume this is cheap pwk copy? I have fitted a koso to my m159 (325) Bultaco, after bit of jetting it runs well. When I fitted it it flooded and I had to bend  the float tang to cure. I only really  wanted to see if it would work as the standard Bing was stuffed. I know people  will say they are rubbish, but it is a cheap  way to test if a Keihin would work

			It's  probably a 200 cc whitehawk, instead of short studs and sleeved head bolts they had full length studs and ordinary nuts on the head. Have a look at the spigot on the barrel, if its very thin its a 200cc barrel

			Wow lookat the torque curve ln the gas gas, near vertical  from about 1500 to less than 2000 rpm. I've  found the gas gas 300 pretty rideable  actually, the 300 beta however i find tiring  to ride, be interesting  to see the figures  for it.

			May not be relevant  but worth checking,  had similar problems  with my Evo,  when i took the trigger/ pick up coil off to check the stator there was a lump of dirt/ grease on it, i cleaned  off with solvent and lo and behold  everything  was fine again

			As someone who rides motorcycles almost every day  and also an agricultural  quad with thumb throttle every  day, I can't  say i notice much difference in "controllability ". I will say though that in the situation described I use the clutch rather than the twistgrip on my trials bike to "check " after blippkng over an obstacle, still I applaud your inventiveness

			Just did a quick google check,  here  is the official  blurb What is the ethanol content of your fuels? ... Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97 and Synergy Supreme+ 99 ) is ethanol free (Except in Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland).

			Maybe of interest to folk with fibreglass tanks,  Esso do an ethanol  free fuel, 99 octane,  i think its called  synergy  99 it is ethanol free in most parts of the uk, but not all so check  your area

			Seen this mentioned before, all I can say is I've had 5 betas over the years, never had one jump out of any gear, and never had to replace a mudguard either. There are a lot of beta's in my area too and never heard of anyone else having s problem, strange?

			Not sure if it was the same problem, but a mate of mine rebuilt my front wheel for  me with new nipples on original spokes and he said he had to run a tap through the nipples to get them to fit properly, he made the tap by cutting a slot in an old spoke!
