Did it again this morning even with the fuel turned off all night.

Turn fuel on, pull choke out, twist throttle and hit starter = massive crack/bang and flame out of the end of the pipe, smoke from the forcewinder and no start, try again and it starts ok :?

After seeking professional advice, I need the carb looking at as it is NOT supposed to do it :)

Might be worth telling us what the jets are in the carb and the mixture screw setting.

What ever was in it when it came out of the box, I would presume :)

I will ask Tubbs to give it a proper strip and clean, might still be gummed up a bit from when it was sat doing nout

When you find out what was causing it, let us know. I'd quite like mine to do it. :hehe:

could it be the fuel tap at fault ?
I.E. you shut it off but it still lets fuel through
