It was sat on a home made wooden trolley, I attached a battery, filled the carb from a tube and funnel and fired it up. I only ran it for a few seconds due to no cooling,...

jumping out of gear
My 1098cc gearbox jumps out of 3rd gear on deceleration, apart from that its perfectly ok. I had just read in a magazine that a wrongly adjusted clutch can cause jumping out of gear, it didn't give details. Knackered gearbox or badly adjusted clutch, what are your thoughts please,
