    Do you think that it will just be an issue with the choke?

    I have this http://www.dellorto.com/editor/uploads/images/PHBH_l.pdf diagram of the carb, this http://www.dellorto.com/merchandise/produc...artsectionID=24 is the parts list for the carb, I dont know which o ring is the choke one.

    If I can get the bike started without the choke do you think that the issue will not be there?

    Thanks for the tip bilc0, the spark plug is sparking really well, but I might just to make sure get myself another.

    HI Guys,

    Sorry i havent responded for a while, been very busy.

    Fitted the woodruff key. It now starts!

    But it revs up for a should time and responds to throttle movements. But then just dies....

    Any ideas? This is with the choke on.

    I have recieved the Woodruff key,

    I took out the old one, and the flat side was sticking outwards, is this correct? The new one looks the same size to be honest. Do I just push the new one in? Should it stick out at all?

    Any chance that you are on Virgin with PC Guard installed?

    My sister brang me her laptop with the exact same issue, and at the time ping requests were fine.

    I just removed PC Guard, and then it worked fine thereafter. Have you got another Antivirus installed aswell if you do have PC Guard installed? Might have been the issue.

    Where did you get your manual from? Is it just the frame with engine torque settings or a proper break down of the engine?

    I got it from a seller on eBay, when it arrives ill send the document to you if you want, just PM your email address.

    I dont know what is in the book, hoepfully as much info as possible

    Thanks for the tip.

    I have a copy of the Manual comming on cd, so that should have the torque settings in it.

    I must admit im very impressed with Dave from Inmotion, has had everything that I have needed (gasket set and woodruff key) in stock and very fast dispatch.

    Hopefully have the bike running by the weekend then time to do it up and make it look pretty again.

    Update: The flywheel puller arrived from Inmotion Trials.

    Popped the flywheel off and the woodruff key had been completly snapped off ;p

    Pretty much clean against the shaft.

    Thank you sooo much Lee, ill give him a call tomorrow and sort out a Woodruff key.

    Thanks everyone that has helped, the comunity on these boards is absolutly outstanding.

    Thanks

    Update:

    I have just pulled the flywheel cover off, the flywheel nut was indeed loose. I have to wait for a flywheel puller to get to me, ordering one tomorrow. I just dont know where I can get a Woodruff key from to replace it?

    the woodruff key is on the flywheel shaft. what it does is it sets the timing for the spark. if the key is cheard then it will still spark but all over the place. if you can get your hands on one use a 12v rattle gun to remove the flywheel nut. from there you will need the correct fly wheel puller to get it off. make sure when you replace the flywheel that the nut is tight as this is what usually causes the key to sheer.

    hope this helps

    max

    Thanks max, that is a great help.

    When I open it up if something is wrong with it then will I definatly see it? And if there is something wrong with it are they a standard thing to replace?

    Thanks for the info Turbo.

    Do you think I should split the engine to see if something is mechanically incorrect inside?

    I think that is where the Woodruff key is. Sorry about my low level of knowledge im new to most things about motorcycle engines.

    Hi all,

    I would just like to start by saying hi, I only registered yesterday after looking at my old Fantic 200 (1980 TX350 i believe) sitting my garage and decided to do something about it.

    I am having a quite serious problem with the engine.

    About 6 -7 years ago my brother came off the bike, jamming the throttle wide open for a 20 - 30 seconds. And since it has never been able to start. I have replaced the Plug and the plug wire and it seems to be sparking fine. I have plenty of Fuel in the tank so that does not seem to be the issue.

    When I kick the bike over it seems to have compression, its only 156cc but its still quite hard to kick. I have split the top casing off the top of the engine, and checked the piston out and it looks fine.

    Im not really very knowledgable about motorbikes so I have limited knowledge about these sorts of things. So any help would be greatly apprciated.

    Also im trying to dig out the workshop manual for it. If anyone has a copy of it? Or a scanned copy? I would be willing to pay to have a copy.

    Thanks in advance
