Agreed. Lots of possible causes. Favorite one is air leak at head/exhaust.
Can also be air leak head/carb, incorrect ignition etc.

Cheers gents, I understand it's hard to diagnose via a forum, but some starting points, thanks!

Hi Clive ,are you running the standard tank and petrol tap?if you are check first that the vacuum pipe hasn't fallen off (ask me how i know lol) if it's on ok then try running on the pri setting on the tap if this cures it the the tap is shot and need replaced. the one from a yamaha raptor quad fits apparently. alternatively mine died 2 years ago and is still running on the pri setting and so far so good. hope this helps

I seem to remember being told to spray something in the area of the suspected leak - was it WD or Redex?   And listen for a change in the engine note - ah yes that would only be for head/carb presumably, as the exhaust would be gases leaking out.....


Oh and I once had a problem which took me ages to diagnose and turned out to be a loose sparkplug!

Oh and then there's loose fuse, loose earth lead, battery lead..... or dry joint in any of those

Wound the idle up a turn, and it seems to be behaving itself. No obvious air leaks, either at the exhaust, or carb side. Hopefully ride it to work tomorrow, so we'll see........

If there is a leak on the carb side or at a vacuum hose you could spray with startingfluid, the engine will rev up a bit then.
