[QUOTE="Ben Langton, post: 98627, member: 3796"] Ok, had a minute to pop back in the garage to check a few things. Fuel tank, taps and lines are clean and work as they should (the first thing I did was to clean that out when I got it) Checked the choke, rubber at base looks fine. However I will hold my hands up and say I have not been putting the choke correctly on, ie up in the locked verticals position which is proberbly why I have needed to cover the velocity stack to start, could this be the problem? I doubt it as the next thing I checked is the coils. I have the BTH red label which I understood was a very good type? And do have two coils, see pics. Slide pic too. I'm still thinking the bike was built and run very few times if at all, it seems to have the "right" bits but maybe was never dialled in correctly then again it was on the road and I had heard it had been hill climbed???
