Hi,well I eventually managed to get hold of a flywheel puller,so I got the crankseal changed yesterday..no difference,the bike still splutters,farts n dies on tickover.I'm just trying it with a premium fuel mix so if there's still no improvement then it's carb off again..for the 7th time ?

Hi chaps,I've tried New fuel and it's made no difference ?

I think my next step is to check the reeds,as someone has suggested.

I'm getting pretty frustrated now because I'm off to the isle of Skye on Friday and I want to take the bike with me so I can practice/play on it..

Right guys,I've got a new gasket between the Reed Cage and the crankcase and got the carb back on ,so it's ready to fire up,but it's too late (11:30 pm)

I took the flywheel cover off and checked the crank for movement..there is a bit of play but not much.Does this mean my main bearings are shagged or is there normally a tiny bit of movement?
