Lurching

[squid]

Hello.

Well when I pull away the bike sorta judda's away. I havn't been on the bike for a month as I've just restored the tank,inside and out. New petrol tap and cleaned me carb,top to toe.6 th time.

This is me first bike and I got to say once again its all new to me,as in rideing technique as well. Today I went out and the juddering happened but once it was warmed up it seemed ok, then once I got to the place I like to muck about, I turn to attack a diddy climb in 1st gear and the little beast judders and dies quarter way up the mound. Start her up and Iam lurchin again and I need to rev hard to get it to bite.

Could this be the contacts?

Cheers

Could this inadvertently have included blocking the vent in some way?

pilot jet.

Squid, you don't have much luck with that bike, it does sound like it could be the pilot jet, they will cause lots of low speed problems when they get partially blocked, I'm having some problems with my bike at the moment down to particles of fibre glass coming away from the tank (Sammy Miller type) and it sometimes blocks the pilot jet even with an in-line filter fitted. I have to keep removing the carb and blowing it through. A new pilot jet should only be about

Thanks 2/4 I'll take a look at that.

Thanks also houseape1000 and Andy T I'll order a new pilot jet.

Been right pants this ongoing thing, Summers nearly on us so all the country side will be closed off due to wild fires. Soon all this mud will be dust and I love mud.

Cheers Squid
