- Trident 660 and Steve McQueen replica rickman Metisse
Afternoon all, Ive a Metisse desert racer with a Tr6 engine, single amal carb, electronic ignition with approx 400 mile on a rebuilt engine.
The bike starts really easily and runs fine up to half throttle and then goes flat as a pancake. I suspect fuel but have had the carb of , cleaned and checked . All seems fine so any thought as to what else it might be, should say its also had a new foam filter which has been lightly oiled and E5 fuel with octane booster and lead replacement additive. it doesnt do a huge mileage and has sat for a while.
Cheers
