Still trying to get the new tomos running!

I've just tested the compression and its good. So next I will have to pull the motor and split the cases. Hopefully I can find the source of the crunching noise when I had it running. Probably a bearing on the crank shaft has gone.

The colibri isnt such a quick fix

So it turns out the last owner didn't put any oil in the crack case so the engine sounded like a bag of spanners before i realised. I had it running briefly but now it wont run. Its got a good spark and the carbs been cleaned but i still need to check compression.
  A quick shot under the flywheel cover.

Carb pulled apart (New Colibri)

The Carb was a bit gummed up and the jet was blocked.
