yup, top it up and the over follow bottels as well, and got it to running temp, the 2 hoses your talking about are the 2 coming from at the back yeah, one gos to the block yeah ??

Well there the ons i looked at and one was pretty hot and the one going to the block wasnt hot, whats that mean ???

[Ben_Sierra]

Means there's a blockage. If the coolant doesn't flow through there, the choke won't know when the engine has warmed up, so the choke will never open.

[IN2DEP]

I see now, hmmmmmmmm now i do i unblock this blockage, is it much work or would it be better of if a mechanic did it ??

[Ben_Sierra]

Well, first step would be to remove the hoses from the carby and see if you can see/get the blockage out. Next step would probably be to stick a bit of wire in there and wiggle it around to try and dislodge the crap in there, I would say...

[royce]

that bit is called the waxstat, if tis blocked chances are its corroded up, dont poke too hard but expect to be buying a new one

[Reubs]

Before you check the choke itself for a blockage, check your hoses too by trying to pour some water down them. The original ones on mine perished from the inside out, and blocked themselves up. That hose is only a few bucks a metre.

How much are they and would i be able to get one from bursons brand new ??

Cheers guys thanks for the help as well

[IN2DEP]

Ok I cleaned out the hoses and they where blocked with mud and shit, i did my best to clean them out with wire and water, but still reving high

Is that waxstat all to do with a carby or not ??

Would it be fixed if i get a new carby or clean it out ??

Any help would e great right now, cause im goin for a camping trip with her and would like it to be fixed within a week

Cheers guys
