    • Hi Andy
      That problem would suggest an air leak. Have you checked the carb to head rubbers? Start the engine and get it to tick over level. Place your hands under the carbs and lift them up the push them down. If the tick over changes then you have a leak with the inlet rubbers. That can be 3 things:

    @kaptainkwak Hi will a starter motor refurb kit for a 77 B2 fit a 79 B4,cause it’s knacked and it’s the only one I can find.
    Many thanks

    • Hi Andyfme
      Al models of the 750 twin use the same starter motor so the answer to your question is yes. However if you look on he forum one member (AndyMase) has just had his starter motor refurbed for £60 which even with postage is cheaper than the refurb kits I have seen around.
      Cheers
