Dublin calling... and looking for help! (Suzuki Street Magic)

If it sat for a year then the fuel (if Irish petrol is anything like the turps we get sold here) in the carb has probably turned to treacle.

sorry - i should have said;
~ carb cleaned.
~ exhaust cleaned (torched!)
~ new air filter.
~ plug is good.
~ even let a 'proper' mechanic (ex moped racer) at it*.

*since then, it starts well, runs well - but tops out at exactly 50kmh and is still an alcoholic on fuel.

p.s;
if you're ever offered a 'Yamaha majesty 400c.c.' pooper scooter as a temp loan bike... beware;
it's not awful / but the pillion seat is as wide as a sofa. if your pillion is 'vertically challenged', they wont be able to reach the footpegs and make comments about 'birthing chairs, stirrups' etc....
it's biking Jim - but not as we know it!

You could try going to Ocho's in Ranelagh, ask for Kim or Zippy, tell them Sean sent you and see if they know anyone locally that can help. There are days when I miss Dublin.....
