Welcome to the forum!

Are you really a citroen expert? Thats one car I've never worked on... Mainly because they're not very many here in the states, probably hardly any at all.

What kind of 600 did you get?

Welcome to the CBR Forum Citroen Expert.

Way back in the day I did up 203 and 403 Peugeots for historic rallying. Loved the French, umm, how do I say it? Individuality

The 600 is a lot easier to work on than a Citroen, so ask any questions you need.

Cheers, SB

i work on any motor as long as it is not electronic, then i am stumped. but this bike i have, well it has beat me, bought it and it was missing on one cylinder,as it was standing about 3 months, i thought it is either a plug, or fuel, and i rode it home 50 miles, stopped to fuel it up. and when i left the garage it ran on all four about 6 miles, then started missing again, i had two new plugs already so put them in,no change, bought two coil packs still no good, cleaned carb, still no good, then checked inlet rubbers, they where old so got some others, and i can not get them on they seem really tight and wont go over the bits there ment to fit on, i can just slip the old ones on, easy as anything, bike will start eventually but wont idle and still misses on number four cylinder ,spray fuel in carb and it runs untill that is used,
