there is a plug under the carbie with a hex head. Undo that and it will drain your carbes water choke, then re fill and check. My shorty gets stuck on sometimes and that has fixed it every time...lol

Let me guess...drives fine doesn't miss, just stalls when you try to idle!! I had the same problem...carbie. Luckily i had a spare. Try cleaning with a proper carbie cleaner, if not more terminal, carby shop or someone who knows more about them on here will be able to help.
Hope that helps you out.
Cheers

Check that a vacuum hose hasn't come off too (or split).

this happned to my coily to. got my mate to rev it to 3 or 4 then blocked off the air intake so it would clean the jets then ran fine, adjusted the timing and now it runs like a beauty and uses heaps less fuel. i set my timing at 8.5 b t d c what does everyone else recommend?
