Re: Broken C2C Screen

Broke 1 side of mine off a couple of years ago so cut both sides off and fixed to headlight rim with araldite and silicone (to tidy up) and it's been fine. Looks a bit neater with no cable ties & comes off as 1 piece to change bulb etc.

Af new cylinder head

Don't know if I'm losing it but I'm sure I saw a new cylinder head from AF but can't find any info on it anywhere. Did I dream it or can anyone shed any light on this.

Stripped thread cylinder stud

Looking for the best repair for the engine casing, has anybody tried these before

Re: Scomadi Carbon 300 misfire

Thanx all, I was thinking possibly along those lines, it is 5 years old now & done 15000 miles so I guess things wear out.

Scomadi Carbon 300 misfire

Right firstly I'm not good with 4 strokes so I'm struggling with this. Gts 300 engine carburated, runs fine for 10 to 15 minutes but once up to temperature it starts to backfire at full throttle. I've changed the ht lead spark plug & ht cap, this seem to help but has not eradicated it completely...
