Yeah, but if his dad could fix it, wouldn't he have helped?

Youve never met a scotsman before have you?

That's just a myth perpetuated by the English and anyway round here it only applies to people from the north east area of scotland. Who its said if they drop a coin it hits them on the back of the heed as they bend down to pick it up.

I think it's people from Fife who've got that reputation as it was a Fifer who told me that joke about himself.

Anyhoo, if we could collectively buy Xivlia's bike then I'd happily collect it, strip it down and take lots of pics.

just got it back from the mechanics today and they got it running, they are saying its running without a problem. so im thinking its fixed for now. my throttle cable snapped so i need a new cable. they said that the carbs had a hell of a lot of water in it.... not a clue how that happend, but the whole thing costed me £49.20 which is also good.

50 quid!? Couldnt have been much up with it.

Anyhow.. if there is water getting into the carbs, stands a chance it was thru the tank? Perhaps when ti rains the seal around the filler cap is letting in water.. something to investigate.

[xivlia]

yep. well the carbs where sitting outside under my table. so little rain gets there. but i dont understand how water go IN to the carb bowls as they were all sealed.. it was all covered. overtime i guess.. im gonna see about the filler cap too. gonna drain all the petrol out and see if its mixed in with water. if not, gonna test it myself by pouring a bucket load of water over the tank and the filler area while its closed to see if any water does get in.

but for the time being, its working, i just cant test it out properly since the throttle cable snapped. ordered a new one, should be here by Wednesday i hope.

and.... a thread about a thread? thats very interesting
