Thanks . I think the clogs are baked in there now but I'll give it a try.

All the small jet holes are virtually solid. Can't successfully clean them with needles etc. Compressed air won't shift it. New carb I think. At least we're starting from fresh then. Crank seals sound like a big job. Where do I start? I've seen them for sale at Inmotion but does it mean taking the engine to bits? Thanks all for the advice.

Thanks teamferret. Not sure I'm ready for trials yet. Need to practice on a bit of land I've got access to first ! Heard Bill Pye mentioned a lot and I'd love to let him do his magic on it. I'll have another look at the carb first. Will certainly have a look down in Rhodesia if I can get. 2 or 3 miles from me!

Thanks for the speedy response. First job after dinner. I'll post the results !

Hi. I'm new to the forum, and have just bought a fairly original (I think) fantic 200 1980. I've done everything that i think I'm capable of, I've got basic tools and no real mechanical knowledge. I've cleaned carb (it looks ok ?) fitted new rear shocks and silencer, new spark plug and air filter. It's still not starting well, if it does start it runs at high revs but dies without choke. Last couple of days it won't start at all. I'm probably now at the end of my capabilities. Does anyone now anybody in the Worksop, Rotherham, Doncaster area that might be able to take it in and solve what I hope is a simple issue. Or should I first replace dell orto carb with a new one before I give up hope. Any other simple ish fixes that I might have missed? I love it and I'm desperate to use it 🙂
