Hi all, my Peugeot Tweet 125 Intermittently cuts out when trying to pull away from a standing start. Idle Speed seems ok (Bike will sit at idle and not cut-out), Auto choke works and the bike starts 1st time every time. However, when stopping at lights / junctions then trying to pull away, the bike will intermittently cut-out. Very Frustrating in peak traffic!!!
It seems to happen whether the bike is hot or cold, has been running a few Kms or just started. Anyone any ideas? BTW I'm using 98 octane fuel and the bike has just done 7000Km.

due to ethenol in gas, the rubber fuel tubing deteriorates and bits of rubber find their way into the pilot jet. take off the carb turn it upside down remove the float bowl unscrew the pilot jet blow out the passage ways and make sure there is no rubber bits in the main jet and pilot jet. The pilot has an extremely fine hole up the middle and is easily blocked. change the fuel tubing for a better material maybe neoprene. Fit new fuel filter at carb end of fuel pipe.
