    I'm getting a spark and I've got air but no fuel. I know fuel is reaching
    the carbs so there's a blockage within somewhere.

    Any pointers or is it easy?

    The bike has been standing, right? In which case, it'll probably be
    blocked pilot jets.

    Hmm, it's a single cylinder bike with two carbs? Which probably means
    one is for low speed fuelling and one for high. It'll be the low
    speed one which will affect starting, but if you don't know which,
    you'll have to take both off, remove the float bowls, remove the jets
    and blow them throw.

    I had just this problem on my new race bike; 3 of the four pilot jets
    were blocked. It started on the button once I'd cleaned them.

    No really. It's been leaning against his garage wall, occasionally
    being stumbled over when pissed, and sometimes being dropped while
    winning an imaginary Supermoto race (also mostly when pissed).

    Thanks... but,

    How to play the flute: You blow in one end and move your fingers up and down
    the outside.

    I need to get a man in then?

    **** it - let's have a go at it. How are you fixed for the weekend?
    Could do it after a game of squash.

    I can see the post now: Help needed. Two knackered numpties in need of
    technical support.

    Are you selling tickets for this event[1]?


    [1] The carb repairs, not the squash. Although that could be good as
    the comedic warm up man.

    The footage isn't as good as some of the others.

    That might be worth saving for the FAQ. Especially if a numpty like
    Cane can manage it.
