It is where my boot rubs, i don't think the rivets are loose, Ive had it all apart and it felt very solid, rode without the cover Friday, i had a red mark on my leg for 24 hours

It does sound lean but not fuel starved, i think your suggesting float height issues??

"I'm looking at a Keihin carbed....."

As above out at Button Oak on Sunday and when i washed the bike I could see a black resin on the exhaust, turns out its the plastic cover that's melted to it, anyone experienced this before, know what the cure is?

Completely agree with the "red" theme, the silver ones just don't look right to me, i have a 16 as well and am do my bets to get it to look right, or more like my brothers 15 as that looks ace.

I'm looking at a Keihin carbed, Rotax engine Easy for a mate, Ive got it started and running and fixed a number of other problems, it has been stood for the last 10 years but is in remarkably good condition. The bike is rideable at low revs but as soon as you open it up it just will not rev, Ive cleaned out the carbs and changed the plug, compression is okay and getting better the more it is run, its sounds lean, not boggy to me, any ideas ? Ignition timing perhaps??

Spot on

i use a combined hour/tacho

And my experience on both bikes was pretty much the same as above, the filter is fiddly but easily do-able, I greased the new gaskets to try and stop them ripping in future. I just removed the front bolts on the bash-plate to give me some room.

I replace front and rear skid plate bolt with Ti for very little cost

Is that the Rotax engine?

No, can someone share???
