lol..bit more info needed Simon, whats the carb settings..main jet/idle/needle/clip positon slide..exhaust, gearing so on and so on, its important you reveal the full set up, also check the set up pages on here and try to closely match an already well set up machine with the same spec then thats your starting point...check plug colours at frquent intervals (you need a chocolate colour plug at all rev range ) not white or light (failure colour )
