    Old thread alert, but! My servo was doing this when I used inferior 2stroke oil and the power valve was gummed up and sticky. As soon as I cleaned of the varnish/gumpf it operated sweet and smooth…

    Just make sure that it’s in there nice and squarely. Also that the ‘insert’ has a good clean finish with no bad grooves or crud buildup on it 🙂
    Did you split and rebuild the cases or just replace the seals? (both)...
    Just use a proper clutch holder to tighten (or loosen) the clutch centre nut, don’t stick a screwdriver in the outer basket ‘fingers’! The alloy snaps so easy and without warning!...

    I know it’s an old thread, but: It’s the barrel that gets grooved, not the head (I thought it was head as well) and it is £35 @ PJME according to the email they sent me 👍

    @Calum always amazes me how much difference a carb can make to a bike, I always remember my old dt50r when I upgraded the exhaust from standard to performance how untuned the carb was to the exhaust, turned a nippy machine into an sluggish horrible mess

    Just dress the curclips with some emery, wet’n’dry or a Dremmel so there is no sharp edge 😜

    PS or just use the back edge of a pair of scissors and run that round the sharp edge, anything that is made of good hard metal...

    I don’t think the edge even protrudes tho’ So it shouldn’t wear anything at all...

    I cheated out and reused the same clips when I stripped, cleaned and rebuilt my box. No issues with it. I would replace them if I could find same quality parts. No fleabay cr@p!!

    That’s what I think. Just from my experience with my bike (1988 with a 3mb barrel)

    @SpookDog Hi mate, I sold it on friday, it went straight away, both i and the buyer were happy with the price so a fair deal for the work it will need.

    @marcusalcock

    Yeah. There’s steel bushes inside the bearings. The bolt will rust to them if not well greased on fitting. You could try putting a lot of hot water through the centre hole of the bolt but I doubt it’ll get enough heat to where it needs to be...

    Big hammer, big clean blows 👍 maybe put a sacrificial nut on the end of the thread for extra protection...
