Who performed the rebuild?
Definitey used the right piston? Put in the right way. Piston Ring end gap measured?
Gasket on the right way? You losing coolant? Did you use a genuine/Athena head gasket. Did you use a forged piston (had to jet my DT like 4 ratings with a Wossner.
Is it the right spark plug? Is there a kink in the fuel hose? Is the float operating correctly.
No air leak. Carb boot and intake manifold on correctly, no cracks or leaks.
No blockages in the inlet tract. Air box clean and free of debris. Not overly smoking? No black smoke? Head wasn't damaged when it went for a rebuild/

@declan Yeah that'll wanna be water tight. But it should still work. Since it's using magnetic flux. So dunno.

@declan going to start with the basics.. carb clean air box and filter new plug clean all the loom cling film and vasaline them to keep the moister off and see if their is anything I seem to find
