Sounds like petrol starvation, are you sure you havent crimped a pipe when you put the tank back on, which is stopping the fuel flowing to the carbs properly.

by any chance is that a reiju SMX 125.........and is it blue

[becky]

have you made sure that the fuel tap is completely on........or is the choke pushed fully up
