Check the length of fuel pipe shorter the better does it run with choke on

if you`ve got good spark and fuel flow, you need the top end off.

Hi all
I've done all i can, think its time for someone who no's what they'er doing to have a look at it...think its something to do with the oil/fuel on back wheel?
Thanks for all your comments

My guess is a stuck/semi stuck piston ring. If you have access to a compression tester this will give you a clue.

You couldn't be more right! it was a dropped piston ring which fooked up everything

so its a new Polini kit....don't know why it would do that? anybody any ideas?
