went out for a run last night bike running good , went over a sleeping policeman a bit quicker than i would have liked (dint see it in time) carried on for a few hundred yards and opened it up , and i thought it had gone on to reserve, but now when i open it up the engine coughs and splutters like its on choke , checked to make sure nothing has come loose but all seems ok , has anyone got any ideas .Steve

Sounds like you have shook something loose does it feel electrical Steve ? Loose connection maybe or needle clip bounced off ?

I've just replied to this over on the LCGB site, I wondered if the bottoming out could have caused the choke cable to have pulled out and got caught on the adjuster. Worth checking it is closing correctly.

Or as happened to a mate of mine, the needle circlip holding the carb needle in place had come off. And every time he went past half throttle, the engine was choked with fuel. Took him ages to solve that one.

Sorry Toddy
Only have time to quickly bounce onto the web for a few seconds and then back to the grind stone. Anyway, text me when you know what the problem is as I don't have time to call back. Anyway, off for a brew.
