I haven't tried...
Guess what it was for a buscuit.

So what was the cause? running too rich, shims too tight?
WHat fixed it Tug

Well no one can work it out, so i'll spill, idle mixture screws where set too high giving a blocked idle jet symptom.
I set them back to standard and it runs like a trooper.

Ah! runnig too rich.
So who had been fiddling? They don't normally turn on their own

When i took it to one of our garages, the mech there said, "its flatter than a witches tit that thing!" like i said we swapped the plug cap and plugs and he wasn't happy so he played with the mixture screws and balance but without gauges and manual he couldn't balance them propperly and thought the mixture was too lean.
Easy done tbh and i might of done it myself given the chance, but nope, sorted and happy it wheelies really well... i mean it purrs like a kitten now.
Can't seem to manage the front up with the clutch in 2nd mind...
