This was an air cooled Rotax, had the squish altered. Check timing also (electronic should be ok) also carburation.

Yes, but not with any success.

What, a reflection ??? That's a new one ?

I don't even know what cricket is ? so don't worry about it being held against you.

Then cover in padding and stick it in a cement mixer.

Is the wee screw nearer the engine, or air filter ?

Moving the clip down, raises the needle, allowing more fuel. This will make it run richer at higher revs. Does your carb have an air screw, or a petrol screw ? More turns out with a petrol screw = richer. More turns out with a air screw = leaner.

"Less infinite" sounds like a biblical term ....

Love the irony, GL1800 .......

Carb is your problem. It should not, ever, be possible to start from cold without choke. (Assuming "away with the fairies" is in the uk )

In my experience, burning oil will not kill plugs.

Running rich will kill plugs, you need to determine the source. Is it standard carb, and in good condition ? Check needle position, float level etc. Over oiled air filter will contribute also. Will it start from cold without choke ? Are you using the correct plug ? If all above are correct, the ignition may be failing.

Just an estimated 570 million speak Spanish ?

Timing to far advanced will make it run hot, as will running weak.

Warped disc.

Blast carb cleaner through every orifi, in every direction. Strip carb right down anx remove petrol/air screw and pay particular attention here.

Primary circuit blockage causing it to run lean. IMO

Really !!!

Have you tried. http://www.motoswm.co.uk/shop/

oni nou made me do it.

He's just got a new friend, so there's hope for you ...

Best to join a club that lays out beginners trials, when you get involved your sure to meet new friends.
