"whats that youve got there?... a 450? "

"what cereal packet did that come out of? "
huh?...
"I just wanted to know, because theres nothing worse than finding a piece of shit in the bottom of your corn flakes. "

sounds like a bad earth somewhere along the line, worth checking and cleaning them up before thinking its more serious perhaps?

I agree if it had good spark and naw its just crap all the sudden it was starting with 3/4 kicks till naw.one thing that has me confused is why is there wires to the battery reg from the cdi,s why would they need power to work?? If thay do if my battery is a little flat that would probly caurse isues

Got it going dont no what changed but it runs on both cilenders naw so i went for a little spin first impression was i need to shorten the gearing but its not bad power wise it pulls hard and clean even thow it needs a rebuild it goes well on the pipe realy looking forward to getting it all rebuilt to see haw it goes then.
