Howzit chaps,

I want to cry. I've kicked myself blue and I've rolled it down a steep hill only to have to poesh, pun intended, back up the @#$% ₩&? Hill! My bike has always started 1st or 2nd kick, up till today. I let it stand for 2 weeks and was super impressed when I returned, I put the choke up and kicked it once and it started. Went for a ride and all was good. Today however...... I thought someone was mean and flooded it on purpose. I've drained the carb and then started fiddling with the idle screw.....now I don't know how many times I've turned it which way anymore.

It backfired a few times, almost started a few times......and now I'm GATVOL!!!!!!! My foot is sore, from plakkie skopping it, and I'm sad cause I couldn't go for my ride.

Spark plug has only done 1000km. Recently serviced etc. Stuck in Tanzania. Any any any advice will be priceless right about now......

Kind Regards

Drew
