Any ideas lads?

So far I've taken the carb apart and made sure main and pilot jets are clean, given it a new spark plug (there's a good spark).

The only way I can get it to go is by taking the spark plug out and squirting some carb cleaner or easy start into the cylinder then it fires up for a few seconds, I do this a few times and it manages to go.

Once my lads been on it it runs and starts like a dream but then next weekend the saga continues! Getting a bit annoying now, I was thinking maybe faulty choke/cable but how can I test this?

I posted this in the wrong section but anyway I've found out what the problem was in case anyone does a search in the future!

My lad had been turning the air/fuel mixture screw when we where fixing or cleaning our bikes and I hadn't noticed Laughing I only noticed when I went to reset all the mixture and idle screws and found it was barely hanging in!

So there we go Thumbs Up
