Re: my vk needs fixing..

1) The carby probably needs to be rebuilt or replaced. It is causing pre ignition from too much heat in the combustion chamber so it keeps running even with the spark plugs firing. In other words, it needs a tune up.

2) Hazard flasher unit has failed or the wiring is shorting out seomwhere.

3) Sounds like the choke is stuff which is most likely causing problem one. Get a secondhand carby fitted and save yourself the hassle.
