High guys

just looking for some help for one of our users on swb he posted the following :

i bought my son his first bike for christmas this year

a tzr125
its an old e reg one

it looks great

but wen he got it he took it round the block no prob

then he parked it up till we sorted his insurance and tax

i got home from work to see the bike in the front garden

ive never seen him looking so down in the face

the bike wouldnt start

i checked the main things still no goo

the weekend after i checked again and the spark wasnt to good
i replaced the plug but no diffrent

i checked the wiring and it was all held together with bits of masking tape
no clips

i stripied it all back spent hours putting new clips on the wires and resealing the loom

but still nothing

i called the local bike breaker and ended up buying
a new source coil a new pulse coil a new generater plate compleate
fitted and also i new cdi unit we had the coild checked on a machine it it was spot on

the spark was great

the bike went lovly

then 2 weeks later it went again
the same things but this time we had a good spark
after hours of striping the carb and finding water droplets in it i blew it out put it back together and it started

ir ran for a week and went again i checked the spark its great
i striped the carb and its spotless

and allset up rite

im stumped now and dont know wat else to do

i cant afford to put it in the shop

so im hoping somone here mite have an idea

my sons back on the bus to collage now

he only road the bike 4 times

its been 3 months now and im out of ideas of wat to tell him could be wrong

so if you can please help

im getting a new carb this weekend if i can find one somone said it mite just be worn out
