Thanks for the reply Brian
Clean air filter ? - Not checked, but I'll replace with a new one
Clean muffler packing ? I'll replace
Correct spark plug ? - I've definately got the right plugs
Choke fuctioning properly ? How do you check ? It works in that helps start the bike from cold
Fresh gas ?Definately fresh gas - straight out of the pump.
Next I'd check for a clean carb, correct float height, jet sizes, needle # and clip position. Can you give more advice on this, I know there are multiple answers to this one, I use the bike mostly for trail riding, I think a previous owner may have set it up more for racing - tickover is intermitant, Can you suggest some generic settings for jet size, needle etc for trail riding
I assume the spooge is coming from the PV drain Yes, I believe this is normal ? and not by the gasket ?No, gasket is fine
There should not be spooge coming from the pipe/cylinder joint. I suspect a broken exhaust flange. Most of us here have broken the stock aluminum one and replaced it with a steel one. Can you tell who supplies the steel one please It's almost inevitable and will surely ruin a good ride.
How often do you change the rings ?
It's done about 45hrs since a new piston and rings.
Still seems to have more than enough power, do you just wait for the power to drop off before replacing ?
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
