Was going to go the garage this morning for new tires and sort out the indicators but have developed two main problems the first is constant flooding of the engine when I left the garden (working perfectly in the garden).
The second is when I managed to get it going along the street it wouldn't go any more than 10mph. So just had to push it about 25 houses to get it home.
Any idea what could be the cause of these problems. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

Betcha left petrol switched off too.
Your float needles will be sicking due to evaporation from the float bowl.
Common problem if you let bike 'stand'.... especially so cantankerouse little Super-Dreams, with a pair of PD24 Carbs!
NOW!
Refer to Haynes.....
THEN remember your tutorlidge under expert Teflon guidance.
HOW MANY effing times did we take them float bowls off to clean, swap or otherwise effect change to get carburation sweet?
SURELY you haven't forgotten already!
Floats, we dropped numerous times without even taking carbs off, just the four screws under the float bowl.
If the float bowls have firred up though, probably be worth pulling main & idle jet & emulsion tube; and cleaning gently with tooth-brush & deturgent; they as tiny holes in emulsion tubes tend to be the first to fir up with evaporation deposits.
ALSO.... phenomina of the model, Snowies and Number five AND Number two all do it.... after any time left, they wet themselves a bit from the float bowl vent, until the float needles been washed and the float bowl gasket swells.
Roger; its a Red 125 Super-Dream, with custom graphics, and alarm LED set into the speedo housing; he has a pull for 'on' choke knob by the speedo....
.............................and with the carburettors properly set up and balanced, it USED to do a GPS checked 70mph two up on the flat! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Thanks for the reply mike I can honestly say I left the fuel at the on position
I understand my problem now and will have a look at it on tuesday get it sorted, next time im ill I will go out and turn it over twice a day. Also she will get up to speed easily I think she is just in a mood with me at the moment for when I was ill. Wait till I get her back up and running she will purr again and enjoy university as well as a nice run down to see you at a weekend  ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS
