[QUOTE="Ben Langton, post: 102188, member: 3796"] Hello again everyone. Some good news is I can now start the bike within a few kicks, sometimes first or second! I took the advice of going back to standard specs on the carb pretty much. Once started with choke, I turn the choke off and let it warm up, idles well. Now through acceleration getting up the gears all good as i pull up the hill by my house, as soon as i hit the level and part throttle its surging and jumping about. Now after moving the slide, trying slightly different jest I have moved this surging to about half throttle and a bit. It was lower. I cant get rid of it and the bike no longer likes flat out. I changed back a few steps and it seemed better flat out. I think I need a tuner to look at it, its frustrating me now and I've exhausted my knoweldge and help from the forum. I see that a few mentioned timing and checking other things which is beyond me at the moment. I am keen to learn but need to take the bike to someone who can help, can any help or recomend someone. Im in Cornwall but have a van and want to sort this. Many thanks for all the help so far, I feel I’m close just not got it right. The bike deserves to ride as good as it looks and id like to enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
