4 screws are holding clamps that anchor the carbs to the bike, they are at the front of the carbs near to the rocker cover...you have looked in the manual about this right?

[MrLuke]

Mine needed a positive pull to get them off

[CaNsA]

You dont need to pull the carbs off to drain them.

[monstermotogp]

unless your rubbers are knachered then no! but it they are old and hard they may need a pull but no you dont need to take them off but its always good see if a slide is sticking or anything!
i assume he knows what i mean since he has already rejetted the carbs????

[nisi1991]

haha yeah i know what you mean, just didnt have a lot of time earlier, really busy with university for the next week so think the bike will take a back step for a while, and only do bits when i can

Well summer is soon approaching is the bike even moted or taxed? And what licence do you have since I assume you were born in 1991? So is the bike restricted for 22 year old under new regulations I onto know because my son has just done his module 1 and he's 19.

[nisi1991]

taxed till july no MOT, no license bought a bike and sort of running with it, if i can get it fixed and a job ill do the tests if not ill sell the bike, bit of a personal achievement taking the bike and fixing it etc, then see where it takes me really

well i was supposed to get my tests done before christmas when i bought the bike but my car broke down so the money on tests had to go on that, then got my student loan the last week and the car broke down so had to buy a new one basically. it was a project with a friend who has worked and had many projects but as university was coming to the end the bike took a back step to assignments, dissertations and exams.

now its me trying to get it sorted, and the help you guys have given me

no updates???? sorry im only interested in this thread more than the other because it was the newest post and the first one i looked at so i have sort of started to follow it... by the way your bike model is l2 not l4... 1992 colour scheme.

[monstermotogp]

Any progress on the build or repair since you were in a pickle not too long ago?

@ monstermotogp, I was one of the lucky ones with my test, passed October 2012, so restricted to 33bhp for 2 years, come 28/10/2014 I just send my licence off and I can have any bike.
New regulations;
16- <50cc moped not exceeding 50km/h (30mph) with L plates
17- <125cc motorcycle not exceeding certain power (14bhp?) with L plates but I think you can do an A1 licence
19- can do your A2 license, no L plates, but restricted to 47bhp, and you can't restrict a bike with more than double the restriction (94bhp) so 600s are no good, and there's a power to weight ratio
21- take another test to be able to get any bike, no restrictions, no L plates

I think the new rules are better from a safety perspective, but as you now have to do more tests it comes across as money grabbing by the dsa
