Hi, just thought that i would say hello as i am now a owner of a fresh MOT for my Fiz, but could do with a little guidance. Just been out fro the first ride hit a good 45 mph to start with then over the next few miles started to loose power?

any ideas whare to start looking?

Hi Trev, welcome to the site and well done on getting the MOT!

One common problem on recently refurbished fizzies is to do with the carb and fuel! If the tank has cr@p in it then this will block the fuel tap and foul the carb and jet? I'd check this out first and post again if it doesn't help asthere are a lot more mechanically minded people on the site than me!

Hi, i'll have a check on the carb, but i have only replaced the head on the engine and put in a new clutch.
