Have you tried running it with the fuel cap off? If you have an inline fuel filter, try running without it, and see what happens. Are you buying regular gas? If so, how long is it between fill-ups?

H-m-m-m, that engine looks familiar, except, of course for the garish paint job on the magneto chain cover. I think it originated in the Selly Oak neighborhood of Birmingham, England...ARH

Wouldn't it be even better if they were 14" or 12" rims, right? One of the charms of the Hawk is the decent size wheels that come on the bike. Get a spoke wrench and keep ALL of the spokes equal, and...

I'm happy for you. But as for me, if I can't fit Pirelli MT 43's, I won't buy that bike. It costs too much to change rims...ARH :cry:

Yes, the pumper does the same thing as a "tickler" used to do. Both methods 'prime' the engine with vaporising fuel in order to make starting, especially cold starting, much easier...ARH :D

What size wheels are on the TBR7? The Hawk comes with a 21 inch front rim, and an 18 inch rear. Mucho choices in tire foot-print, size, and a lot of different makers....ARH :)

No. What I would do is change back to a 115 main jet and remove the air filter and see how it runs. And you can chalk this little experience up to that old saw "only change one thing at a time." ...
