Just bought myself a Cerb speed six, 2 weeks ago. Fantastic machine, goes like the clappers and looks absolutley amazing.

It did go like the clappers till i undid the Coolant cap to have a look at the level. Silly me forgot to tighten it properly and the cerb did a hissy fit and spilt boiling coolant all over the floor.

Now i've managed to top it up with coolant and bled what i think is most of the air out. but the engine sounds lumpy and it doesn't have as much power as it used to.
is this because there's still air floating around the system ???

The other thing is it smokes alot(white smoke) when it starts up and it eats alot of oil from what i can make out from the dipstick. i think its a sign of a worn engine. i'll get that checked out asap, as soon i can get the thing to run without it sounding lumpy. Any advice would be most appreciated. Its such a fun machine to experience, makes me cry when i can't get the old girl to run when i first had her. haha Hate to see what'll happen when it goes for away for an engine rebuild.
