Choke stuck on, possible air breather blockage.

Water in the carb? Shouldn't be too hard to fix on a 125. It was a bit harder on my zx6 - 4 carbs well hidden by the frame. Ask if you want to know how to do this (if water is the problem). Do you keep it in a garage / under a cover / exposed to all that nature can throw at it? Has it rained your way recently / have you jet washed it?

Hi no it was in a garage with the tank off etc, as when i bought it, there was a light problem, which we narrowed to the r/h gear switch, so after the tank was put back on, and gear switch was fine, i started having the problem with it cutting out when given throttle......... blooming bike doing my head in Very Happy

Ok, not water then. Following from what Paxovasa said, my other thought would be blocked / trapped fuel line. Apart from that, I'm out of ideas, sorry

Does it have an inline filter?

Check fuel is getting to the carbs.

Does the tank get pressurised (when you undo the petrol cap does it suck in air).
