Top end really hot? oil blockage? (Update)

[dransy]

Thanks for the replies , I'm not riding the bike !

I've found a kit on wemoto with the float bowl seal 3 O rings the float weight and the gold jet like thing it sits in , on my phone at work so can't link it , does it sound like the stuff I need ?

+1 to what bombsquad said.
on spark plugs here's the general rule of thumb
-Dark / black = fuel fouled (too rich)
-Brown ( like a perfectly toasted marshmellow) is perfect
-white is hot / running lean.

Didn't I mention issues with aftermarket needle valves?  It's like I'm talking to myself here...

You can certainly try the aftermarket rebuild kits, but I find it better/safer to order OEM parts.

Here is a cart with all the part numbers you need from ronayers.com

As you can see, the Needle valve sets are the expensive part, so if you can get yours to work, then don't order new ones.

Here is the link to the fiche with that shows how all these parts go into the carbs.

EDIT: I see that you are in the UK.  I'm not sure of a good OEM parts supplier over there, but I'm sure there are some.  Part numbers remain the same regardless.

I assume this kit is the one you mentioned?  Those are the parts you need...and it looks to be a decent price, but don't be surprised if you have headaches with the needle valves again.  That's why I advise to go with OEM.
