Crazy I know, but is the inlet valve opening and closing as it should.

I think he means intake valves.....:2cents:

If so, yup. When it runs briefly, it runs smooth.

Sorry guys, but Yea you call it the `intake` we use inlet and exhaust. The thinking was that if the valve was sticking partially open when warm.

Several years ago I took a trials motorcycle class taught by a British world champion. He was talking about tire pressure and used the term "bar". I really enjoyed telling him that he was wrong, tire pressure is measured in PSI. He took me seriously for a few seconds, but caught on very quickly. By the way, I also learned that my motorcycle had some kind of basic defect. HIS bike was able to do all kinds of magical feats of rock climbing, tight turns, and log-leaping, while mine kept falling down when trying the same stuff.

Ha Ha. Yea we all talk the same language differently. For `tyre` pressure we sometimes use psi, but sometimes Bar. One bar is about 15 psi, or about one atmosphere, that's about 14.7 psi, but talk to the guys in Australia/New Zealand, and they might even talk `Pascals`.
