  1. only on a push, i do need a air filter and air box, the carb was cleaned by a motorcycle shop, when i got it back after fitting it was rough only on a push. I phoned the boy today who also has ts's he restores them he said the air mix screw turn it all the way and undo by two turns, but now wont even start on a bump??
  2. it will start run as long as the bike is being bumped, spark is great (NEW PLUG) and good coil old but good, i wounder if when the carb got cleaned the guy took the screws out?? and everything only slightly off??
  3. cheers mate, problem is it won't idle i will bump then it will run well ish spitting and coughing then die i think idle and mixture what do you think just to clarify? lol but i will try tomorrow
  4. Sounds lean as you are cutting out when air is introduced. cheers mate, that's what i thought trouble is i mukini or SOMETHING LIKE THAT carburetor, so is it the bigger screw for the mixture or the smaller? waiting on ma manual so don't have a clue yet lol
  5. BUMP, start, runs, revs then stalls SUZUKI TS185 70'S MODEL THANKS ps oh and carb was cleaned by a classic bike garage. will start but open the throttle and then dies, lean? or too strong

    how to run??

    well today i PMSL as the previous owner or the one before him had put the coil on loose? so i went to put it on then found there was washers but they were RUBBER hence no spark!!?? so this afternoon i went to see about my carb as when i took it off and tried blowing into it,,,, I COULDN'T also the carb hoses were ROCK HARD so i asked him to chuck it into a cleaner so for £10 he is going to EVERY SINGLE JET and new hoses for the carb!! so i will pick it up tomorrow afternoon, he kindly gave me a used spark plug to try i laid on the engine and the thing sparked like a sparkler at a bomb fire night!! so washers made of rubber NOT BY ME & CARB NOT TAP WAS BLOCKED!! so happy

    how to run??

    well i know that, but the bike did not cough at all when bumping,, the plug bottom i soaked in petrol too! and still NO COUGH!! the plug i have is registered to the GT suzuki series and the MODERN TS series???? The other thing is there are 3 types of NGK plugs for the TS185

    how to run??

    i put a wire from the kill switch to the coil will this work (kill the engine) when wanted??
  12. so what do i do?? the last owner gave me a bill of sale but has no address only a date and name and bike make but no idea of age?
  13. so how do i go about getting a V5C?? will it cost me anything?? all i have is a bill of sale but that's it, the guy never got round to getting a V5C, do i even bother with on as the bike had been converted to off road use only but i would rather restore than TRASH!!

    how to run??

    my bike has only its kill switch but that is not connected, i whilst restoring want it for the field, so how do i make it run without the battery and the kill switch??
  15. just noticed by the photo's, that mine is a naked engine (not painted black) also suzuki is painted in red??
