Thanks for the advice guys. I'll order a bigger main jet and while I'm waiting on it to come I'll get the barrel off again and check the piston again too. I never thought to check if the rings were stuck.
Cheers again, will let you know how I get on

Re: T5 Autolube
Back wheel would lock up, luckily managed to get the clutch in so kept it upright. Have had the barrel off and can't see any damage, piston and rings look fine also. Not hard to start, starts first kick. Will cruise along happily at 40 and sounds like it should but after that it struggles. I'm stump...

T5 Autolube
My t5 was having issues with cutting out when under load and was over heating. This was diagnosed as a failing oil pump so I have disconnected the autolube and am now running it pre-mix. Now runs with no cutting out issues however it's struggling to hit 50 now whereas before it would hit 65 flat out...

Cutting out when under load

Cheers

Re: Wont Start
Tried a bump start with no joy. Have cleaned the carb and jets with compressed air aswell.

Wont Start
My px125 with malossi 166 kit fitted was running great. Was out a run, engine under load but nothing to harsh and it stopped dead. Pulled the clutch in and limped to the side of the road. Left it to sit for a bit and it started again. Same thing happened further up the road and now wont start at all...
