  1. Right

    Pull off the tube to the carb that feeds petrol to it

    place a container under this pipe

    pull off the other pipe, and suck on it

    this should open up the vacuum valve and fuel should come out of the fuel pipe into the container

    if it does, replace the fuel pipe back on the carb and suck on the vacuum pipe again

    this should allow fuel into carb

    replace vacuum pipe back on carb

    and hopefully the bike will now run

    Right, thanks so much for your help i'll do that first thing in the morning. If it dont, i still reckon that the vacuum tap still aint right and i'll buy a replacement part, and hopefully it'll start up.

    Sorry if it was hard trying to make sense of what im saying, i aint the best person to speak to sometimes :P

  2. It looks like a vacuum operated valve

    so its got one pipe to the carb to feed petrol

    and another to the inlet manifold...yes

    can you confirm this?

    No, they both attach to the carburetor. I just dont understand cuase we've checked everything, and it all works, just no petrols coming through, and inside the carburetor, theres a tiny amount of green looking oil.(dunno if thats sugnificant, just remembered it now sorry)

  3. Does the fuel tap mount directly on the fuel tank, and how many pipes are attached, and where do these pipes go to?

    Can you explain this vacuum pump to me

    Sorry, should of explained this in my first post. It is a gold sealed unit that slots directly into the bottom of the tank with a pipe like filter, there are 2 pipes leading from the vacuum tap to the carburetor, (i have checked the pipes, there all clear).

  4. Does it have a vacuum operated fuel tap?

    Well, im not 100% sure, but i dont think it does, its just got a vacuum pump on the fuel tank that connects to the carboreter, but the guy at my local garage took a look and said it works fine.

  5. Well a few weeks ago my bike started to run sluggish and cut out a lot, so me and my cousin took apart the carboreter, cleaned it out and stuck it back on, the bike ran fine, till the next day it just wouldnt start up. We did the same thing, cleaned it out but noticed no petrol was in the carboreter, so a few days later we stripped the bike down and found the vacuum pump on the tank, took it off and checked it out, works ok and all the pipes are fine, but no petrols getting through and the piston chamber is bone dry.

    Anyone know how to sort this or know whats up, cause its giving me a major headache and is really bugging me not having my bike!

    (Sorry if i've spelled things wrong, i cant spell properly :P)

  6. Well, I had a few scratches on my yamaha cw 50 scooter, so i phoned a yamaha dealer near me to find the paint code, they couldnt help me so i phoned the proper yamaha place, they refused to give me the paint code. So i got the name of the paint, its called 'Dull orange cocktail 1'.

    But no matter where i look or where i go i cant find a place that sells this paint. So if anyone knows the paint code or where i could buy the paint i'd be seriously gratefull.
