    Hi,
    If any one can assist please? I've tried searching, but not finding anything relevant. Unless I've missed some results.

    My son's bike is cutting out after 5 minuted riding. Then will not start.

    Last night, it cut out after 5 minutes (or so) went out to help him, seemed to start after about 20 minutes.
    Nearly made it back home, engine cut out again. (about 5 minutes ride)

    I've removed carb, stripped and cleaned.
    Checked reeds, cleaned.
    Checked head and piston rings, all look good. New gasket set installed.
    New spark plug fitted.

    Started easily
    It idles happily for about 10 - 15 minutes.

    Son takes it out for some testing, 5 minutes, it's cut out, non starting.

    I have a spark with spark with plug held against cylinder head. Fuel is flowing to card.

    He bought it last month, and so far has had minimal riding on bike.
    He did ride all way from Bournemouth no issues (about 2 hours)
