u have the velos inlet? if so then its easy to get to, its a small black cylinder attached to the throttle body with 2 screws, remove it and spray it with carb cleaner, just keep cleaning it till it looks all nice. then refit

Sounds like your whole engine needs replacing.

Best change the gearbox too. And ECU, loom, etc.

I did mine with the Lexmaul inlet in place - removed the header tank though.
