I've got a trick for that

Seems like a hassle that, your as well taking the casing off and doing the job right. Gives you a good opportunity for a Wee inspection inside there at the same time. It's a hour and a half job max.

My chains no where near the crankcase

Trials and tribulations have loads. Hope ur pockets are deep

Same thing happened to me. It's the ' cup seal ' on the piston in the mastercylinder that has swollen.. They will swell enough ( 0.5mm) to block the small hole in the mastercylinder causing your problem Get a rebuild kit

Cleaned up the spark plug and set the gap to the correct setting today and it started and ran ten times better Can't complain at that! Thanks everyone for your help on this and have a great Christmas Cheers Ian

There's Stoddarts right enough .. But they don't have a bp5es .. If you don't ride a road bike they don't want to know you.

1) it's Christmas everywhere is closed. 2) I live in a remote area ( no bike shops ) 3) after Christmas when places are open I will order one ( and wait patiently for the 4-5 days to pass) for delivery to my area. Does that answer your question buddy

Well spotted COLLY

Right lads , The gap was set incorrect on the plug. I set it at 0.006 doh!! I'll rectify it in the morning ( the bike comes before wrapping parcels) And let yous know if it's running sweeter

Iv just bought my 1st evo 250 2010 after having a rev3 before. To me the Rev was much better. I've had nothing but greif from my evo ( carb issues ) Why they went to the keihin carbs I will never understand! For me the Rev3 felt lighter , better suspension .. That's just my opinion

B4ort ... That's not solving the issue, there is a reason the plug is getting like that. Cheers though

thanks again , this is a picture of my plug iv just took out ... wet!

Hi goudrons thanks for that reply that was really helpful for me, The bike doesn't seem to settle to a nice even idle and has that tinny overrun.. Iv only owned the bike a few weeks it was good when I got it but after cleaning the carb for the 1st time I tampered with float heights and had them set too high ( fuel was coming from the overflow when fuel turned on ) So after a few tweaks lowered them. I just don't think I've got them set right YET. 1st thing in the morning when I start the bike , I turn on fuel put the choke on and kick it over, it'll start 1st kick then after 2-3 seconds it'll start to bog out and stall if I'm not quick in flicking the choke OFF... Iv followed the pdf from Lampkins on float adjustment, cleaned the needle valve-seat , cleaned the carb/ jets , holes countless times now. But as you've described it's just not idling spot on

Thanks wheelieman, If the floats are slightly high would this cause the bike to cut out while starting it on the choke?

Hi. Can someone explain what the symptoms are of the floats being set too HIGH are? Also what the symptoms are of the floats being set too low? Keihin PWK28 carb..

High temperature silicone is they way buddy, I take it the orings are the correct fitting? Plenty of silicone and the job will be a good un

You sure it's not the bar mounts clicking? My 2010 Gasgas done this ..

Can't you just remove 2 bolts from the pressure plate for a lighter clutch?
