    sparks great . bike fires pops and backfires but won't run . I've been kicking it over so much I've torn my dam trainers ffs. no more projects without electric start unless 2 stroke. front pipe hot to touch from many mini fires but still no good. off with carb again to check for a blockage.

    all good fuel squatting through fine . this is starting to do my tiny cells in. these are known for spinning cams but I checked them against a known good set at work ect. I'm going to re time it again today just to make sure then if that fails I'm just going to smash the fucking green bitch in with my axe.

    thanks lads well carb off again today and I'm going to change jet size . and put all back to standard fit a fresh needle ect . ill prob change drain hoses for new ones as it will look better for the buyer. I'm tempted to send it for an ultrasonic clean too . but I'm just wanting to get it running and sold now .

    ok so flywheel had spun on crank so timing was knocking out. one crank lobbed in metal skip at work and a good used one fitted. forgot to picture it as too fucked off with the green bitch . finished rebuild last night got fresh fuel in her bleed through fuel and like Mrs graveltrap when she puts a bottle of lube under my pillow the kxf surprised me and fired into life .

    Good news.
    She looks great and if I had the money and the setup to get to a track or lanes, I’d have that off you in a shot...it’s like a new bike.

    I think its more to do with the kind of person who's buying low end mx bikes at the moment. my work is full of track suit wearing dope stinking idiots . so are the tracks . mx is full of nobbers at the moment.
