Two things to watch out for:

1) They coke up really badly. If you are finding it (even more) down on power than usual, give the baffles a clean.

2) If you experience a sudden loss of power after a longish run but it is still running, stop in case it's heat seizing. If it's still doing it after a cool down (ie running but badly), check the points. They sometimes weld themselves together after a long run, you can usually ping them apart with a screwdriver. There is no way the engine should run like that but they do.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.

The header pipe looks like it could coke up pretty easy to! That said....it actually looks pretty modern for a jawa

Will keep an eye out for the carbon build up. The pipe is pretty oily at the moment it looks like the premix has been a bit strong. It has only covered about 300 mile so hopefully won't be too coked up. I remember having to remove the baffles and use a blow torch to decoke them from an old RZ250 I had years ago with any luck it won't get to that.

Agh! i had one of those as my very first bike, many years ago. I hated it! top speed was 25 miles an hour.
After a few weeks it blew up because i put the wrong ratio of Petroil in it.
I then went back to cycling 9 miles to work every morning and didn't miss it.
