My Poor Kermit

What ever is easiest
Nomates i think its because the seal needs replacing as hes got a oil leak but then i may be wrong im sure carl will update soon ..
do you have any idea why kermit is like he is
thanks in advance

Yeah the seal behind the flywheel has gone so needs to be changed

wonder why hes being a jerk ay haha
reading online today i did come across a few possible answers maybe /maybe not ...but thought id ask.. i mean how do you learn ay with out asking even if i make myself look stupid and thats not hard i know
is it poss my choke may simply be set too tightly closed.
is it poss the carb may be flooding due to needle valve not closing tightly/not screwed in/float not "floating". sticking maybe
now you can have a chuckle and tell me i really dont have a clue
But im willing to learn

Sorted all the seals are done and it seems to be running better but got to go down tomorrow and do abit of wire surgery





And a couple of tan and gavs new home

Thanks carl hes looking fab
need anythink just holla ...

One word for this one OUCH
