Well take it for a run and pull the plug out, it should be a nice light brown/tan colour if the mixtures right. 13 quid isn't bad and you've already done the hard work with the pipe n jets so might as well get the whole system back to standard. As I said before 2 strokes are really temperamental once you start chopping and changing fuel/air/exhaust components, i've had loads of off roaders and spent hours rippin me hair out over poor running!! I think you're probably 13 quid away from a smooth running bike mate
I started it and revved it in neutral and it was like crap it kept bogging and not proper revving. Then I put it in 1st and revved it and it was bit better but still a little boggy.
oy - how many times do i have to tell you... you RIDE bikes and DRIVE cars lol. Jesus. Did we go to the same school? :-P
Anyhow. Could be floats sticking as u say it takes a while to drop down in revs. Air filter also maybe.
I've no idea tho, im just guessing lol
I'd check the gigglepin, make sure it's aligned with the flobble valve.
Seriously Paul, if you've done all that work already, you may as well swap the air filter out as RK suggests. For the sake of an extra £13, put it back to standard and then see how it runs from there.
The little tube that connects to the carb with oil in was disconnected :\ It's been soaking my bike in oil and has drained loads of my oil :(
Also the back tyred locked up on me when I accelerated fast like I'd hit it upto 60mph and it'd like lock and skid so I'd have to quickly hold in clutch and it'd keep running...
The bogging isn't there anymore since I reconnected that tube that has OIL in back upto the carb.
You should take the head and barrel off and check the piston and bore for scuff marks.
If the piston has siezed in the bore
(which sounds highly likely from what you say)
it will leave bits of alloy on the surface of the bore and it should be carefully polished off with "fine" wet n dry paper.
You will also need to polish the piston skirt to remove the damaged areas to prevent it "picking up" again
If you dont, not only will the perfomance be severely reduced but it could seize badly or cause the big end to fail.
Either of which could throw you off the bike
From what you say, I think you are a natural born 2stroke rider getting the clutch in quick
Old hands ride with two fingers over the clutch lever, in anticipation of such an event
(a regular occurence on older "tuned" 2strokes with practice you get a "feel" for the motor and can get the clutch in before it actually nips up)
Get it looked at asap before you damage it anymore
Make sure that you secure the oil feed pipe to the carb feed by either a clip or a piece of locking wire twisted round it
Good luck Paul, I think you're doin really well sorting it on your own
Keep us posted
