What about the reed valve? Have you checked it?

JR

Stripped the carb off again to do the reed valve, it looks like new with all three flaps aligned correctly and no dirt present.
I may have to splash out on a new piston/ring set in the near future as I'm running out of ideas and compression as you know is key for 2 strokers..
The workshop manual arrived , it is extremely detailed showing various ways of checking the electrical components, fault finding etc so I'll start checking the spark circuit as I'm not convinced the bike is firing at every revolution (may be a red herring as it is firing on starter fluid, just sounds funny)

MrJennzzz, thanks for your input, however as I'm in the UK, buying parts from you costs will be prohivitive.

Go well.

I worked on my buddies scooter yesterday for about eight hours, with a similar
situation. He has an 02 e-ton beamer. Long story short , It ended up being his coil wire had a short in it. If he held it in a certain position she would run perfect . I ended up cutting about two inches of the coil wire off and reinstalled the cap and no more issues.
Oh by the way we checked spark several times thru out the day and it had a good blue spark. Who would have thought that the wire would have been bad when you get a good spark?
Maybe worth looking at in your case.
