3 suspects leap to mind.
main seals, float-bowl wildly wrong (flooding), crap coils (spark dies under the slightest load).

more clues on behaviours, sounds, tests done so far, please!

Clarkey,

            We finished our RM 125 C and it's been running extra fine. If you want the jet sizes etc. let me know.

OK, CYLINDER HAS HAD A PORT AND POLISH ( 20 YEARS AGO) AND POWER REEDS FITTED, STANDERD JET (240) AND PILOT, NEW COIL. THE ROD DID HAVE SOME MOVEMENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I DID THE TOP END, NORMAL ?? I HAVE ALSO FITTED A FEW OTHER CARBS BUT THEIR IS NO DIFFERENCE. NOT SURE ABOUT FLOODING AS THE BIKE REVS FINE WHILE IDLE ??? I HAVE NOT TRIED A BIGGER MAIN JET YET, WILL GET ONE TOMORROW. PLUG LOOKS GOOD ??
