basic question..have you checked your valve clearances?

Other than that, it may be a carb tuning issue

check out the below threads for info on how to do the above, hope it helps.

When its in netual it will rev through the rev range no prob but when its in gear it wont

have you tried putting a new plug in as it sounds like its may be breaking down when under load

No i havnt when i checked it it was pretty black and sooty so ill put a new one in and give it a go

No i havnt when i checked it it was pretty black and sooty so ill put a new one in and give it a go

sounds like the carb is running too rich

 

[Minibiker05]

ok so if i lower the needle clip to the top will that let me ride it ive allready brought a 26mm oko carb but i want to take her riding tomoz and atm it wont run propley

 

[sean01]

it could need lowering. but only try 1 clip notch at a time..

could also be jet sizes.

 

[Minibiker05]

i was thinking jets and when u lower the needle dosnt that make it richer

 

[sean01]

lowering the needle (raising the clip) makes 1/4 throttle to 3/4 leaner

 

[Minibiker05]

ok i did that it still does it put a new plug in and rode it up the road and back and it was just as black and sooty as the old on after bout 45secs riding

 

[sean01]

ok well maybe it has a weak spark problem..

there was a member not so long ago chasing a problem with his blitz and it turned out to be a crappy wire connection to the coil.

do a search on here for blitz .. it should show up as it was only within the last couple of months i think..

[Minibiker05]

Ok ill have a look for that and what are the jet sizes for the 30oko coz i was talking to thump no so long ago about it and he said once he got sum time he would pull them out for us
