Ziggy ( my lil 125 ) is due an MOT this week and he's not running right.    He's making a 'gurgling' sound, when i release the throttle, which I think is coming from the manifold.    Is there anyone that could have a look and give him a pre-MOT check for me?   I could meet at Squires...or maybe just give me some advice on here?   Cheers Thumbs Up

Cheers JackHug   I tightened the manifold up and he's running better.    I've just been up to Squires and one of my mates put my new wing mirrors on ( the thread was knackered) and he says Zig should pass, but if he fails, he will sort out whatever needs doingThumbs Up
