Hey Guys,
Got a quick question, cause I'm a little bit lost.
Recently had some timing issues and what not but they seem to be sorted, however now it seems when I sit in 5th gear and cruise at around 80kmph for an extended period of time, the bike starts to stutter and I lose acceleration...
I'll see how it goes.

Will check points, valve clearances and timing tonight.
What is the advancer? and where is it located?
Good thing you said don't do that, I've got a long steep driveway and was contemplating putting it in gear and bumping it the whole way down but it just sounded bad. If it doesn't want to start don't force it yeah?
OK so now I'm just wigging out cause (and let's be honest, I'm no mechanic but...
OK so I'm still stuck.
Kicked it till my leg almost fell of last night, with combinations fo throttle open and closed, choke on and off.
I pulled the carb off and checked there were no blockages, the valves seem to be moving nicely. Not sure on the timing I suppose i should check that...
