    Thanks, will check crank seal. Have already checked the reed valve block etc. Just seems strange that after cleaning the carb, it runs ok for a while. I think that if it was the crank seals, then carb cleaning would have no effect. Gordon

    Hi I am having a little problem with my 2002 TXTedition 280. The engine can be very slow to return to idle. Sometimes it does not idle properly, cutting out. After removing and cleaning the carb it runs better but soon returns to the previous state. On stripping the carb again it seems to be clean. If I build it up then start it, it runs ok for a while. Any ideas? New airfilter, plug fitted. Checked for air leaks at manifold and base gasket etc. Gordon

    Just an update. Contacted seller who agreed to refund on receipt. He has good feedback and I will take this at face value. Gordon

    Thanks for the replies, I think the seller has tried to sell me a copy.

    Tried Moto Merlin but they were out of stock. Bought one on Ebay. The case and cover looks fine but the disk is a plain white DVDR. I contacted the seller who claims it is genuine, he points to the fact that it is a small production company in the states and this is the norm. Can anyone confirm this? Regards Gordon

    Hi all I have bought a 2002 280 TXT Edition. I am struggling to locate a manual or parts list. Can anyone help? I see on trials parts USA a number of manuals including a 2001 and 20003 but no 2002. I'm confused by the different models. Any help much appreciated.

    Hi all Just purchased a gas gas 280 to learn and play with. Based in Fife, Scotland. 47 years old and need to get fit! Looking for advise on all the basics; What oil/ratio? Tyre pressures, suspension setup etc. Also do not have a clue on kit, where and what to buy. I have experience of various road bikes, but no off road experience. In at the deep end!
