If its been stripped down, you will need to use the 'prime' position on the fuel tap for initial starting attempt
October 4, 200816 yr surely when he says he's getitng fuel he means fuel in the engine?, i.e. its already been primed so there is fuel in the comb. chamber
October 4, 200816 yr Moderator surely when he says he's getitng fuel he means fuel in the engine?, i.e. its already been primed so there is fuel in the comb. chamber Be nice to think so yes, But he says he has fuel not he's getting fuel, That might just mean he's got fuel in the tank...He doesnt actually say. But an engine that wont start will need the switch in the prime position anyway because there may not be enough vacuum developed to open the fuel supply from the tap (petcock)
October 4, 200816 yr the fuel tap no my r1 only has an off postion because the electric fuel pump primes the carbs
