isaacunt Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 theres a motorbike shop on the same road as the Albion, near the bus station on the corner. They've got them ickle bikes in the window. Not sure if they do repairs or not. Might be worth a try. Theres also 1 in walkden, on the A6 between the Stocks & Langford & Thomson's forecourt. Hope you get it sorted [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< toodle pip
NinjaG2 Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Right 1st is fuel getting to the carb one problem with mini motos is that when the fuel tank is put on it traps the hose stopping the fuel getting to the carb. take the outer casing to the tank off and the try running it. The fuel tap should should be pointing up and then make sure the choke is fully down...One last thing before you put petrol in did you check inside the tank. the 2 ive got i have found loads of plastic inside and had to get that out first or it will block the flow of fuel. Hope this is of use
spookster Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 try the shop on halliwell road see if they do repairs

Carlos Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Already happened, one lad on the Reebok car park, whizzing round on one of these mini-chav bikes, usually seen flying up and down Winchester Way, went straight into a chain at head height - stone dead.
