jim9755 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Its not an electrical problem. have definately ruled that one out now. Fitted new piston rings today, its still a pig to start from cold but they have made a big difference in performance the bike feels much more pokey and responsive. whilst i had the barrel off this time though i noticed that there was quite a big step at the top of the cylinder so i think the barrel might be on its last legs which would point towards a compression problem again. The barrel has already been bored out to plus 60 thou so i think the barrel is on its last legs really. however as the bike works a treat when warmed up i think il leave it till next winter and replace the barrel with a new or recon'd one and maybe also do a complete engine rebuild at the same time, new oil seals/gaskets etc. thanks for all the help guys. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
