If it’s not the cap then look at all the faulty ignition posts on here & the Facebook groups.

Maybe he wants a 6 speed gearbox, or reliable ignition? *Puts helmet on & waits for abuse*

Esso premium is ethanol free in most areas, check their website for your area.

Did you not try one before you bought one?

Is that an enduro bike?

Has had the frame and a few things painted but almost certainly a 97 JTX 320. If the plastics actually are silver not painted over. Has the correct silencer, frame guards & engine colour for the JTX.

Picture?

As above, the bike is a 94, but has a 1997 jtx tank on it.

No they clearly didn't, the disc & wheel maybe from something else but the forks are 2000 REV3.

Paiolis from a Beta rev3 2000 model,a quick google search shows identical forks.

I wouldn’t be buying one of the rear fuel tank models given a choice.

This is normal, using the clutch to smooth out low speed running is an important technique to master.

Would have been built end of 2001 if it’s an 02 model.

From the ESSO website: . Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97) is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland).

Get the 250, i've had both & the 250 is the way to go unless you're battling for a national championship.

With regards to beta, I’ve had 3 evos & only one had a proper working clutch & that was 2016. Make of that what you will.

My mistake, it is the correct rear mudguard. https://gasgas.com/en/previous-models?c=&y=1998

It’s got an older rear mudguard from a 97 jtx & someone’s also painted the frame black. Should be chrome.

It’s 1998 tx320 according to that. Looks like someones put a 250 barrel on it at some point.

Can you post a pic of the bike or frame number?

I have a Friday afternoon evo 2019 & one of the faults was the offset on the front wheel was way off, worth checking.

Beta super trial, 1992/3.

Whip the head off & measure the bore.

Maybe try & get another from a breakers.
