[Wez350]

As some of you know i have just got hold of a 350lc.Now 1st time i go to ride it the throttle cable snaps So got on with the other bits new switch gear,clock covers etc while waiting for the cable.Fitted it yesterday but will the bloody thing run right can not pull away then when it does go you have to keep it over 6k then it will stop just like the fuel has been turned off then is a right sod to start again.Done all the normal things different carbs,stator,reeds and rubbers 2 sets of pipes,coil,plugs and caps even a fuel tap but still the same now ran out of bits to swap from my store of good parts and have no idea what it could be.If i can not get it to run right before i go to Spa this weekend then think i will sell along with the 250lc i have Any idea's would be great.

just a thought m8 but could it be the vent hole blocked in the tank fuel cap,this would slow the supply of fuel

Hi mate well it's sorted now ;D After changing it all back to when i got the bike it still ran realy bad so sat down the went through what i had not changed.Started with the flywheel and bingo it ran like a dream and pulls like a tank found the magnets had cracks in.In over 25 years of running lc's have never seen this and the flywheel looked new.
