neversaydie Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You said earlier that you bought a reconditioned manifold. Have you still got the old one that fits properly?Id be inclined to put that back on and try it, see if it makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be inclined to put that back on and try it, see if it makes a difference Yes it is a reconditioned, better than the earlier one...one which came fitted had the "gap" issue and the forceful fitting had splitted the carb joint, yet it worked still..

dt502001 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The vac line to the petcock needs to fit tight no cracks ,if thats good, then the diaphram in the petcock is no good. You can check it by removing the fuel line at the tank and put it in res or on then put a hose to the small nipple and suck on it if no gas flow out then its no good Put it back on pri and start the bike if it runs that way then run it like that using on or off to stop gas flow when not running,untill you can get the new diaphram or another petcock with just a simlpel on off res none diaphram style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelum Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Problem is still there...I replaced the old carb with another disassembled one and bought another used manifold... She tries to start..but doesnt hold on...still the idle screw setup is confusing....Like dt502001 told, idle screw should be the issue? Removed air filter and cranked to see if its the cause. NO What if the float chamber does not get adequate fuel level to immerse jets in gas so the jets cannot suck in? I feel suicidal...it has been more than 1 year now, still struggling with this stupid bike.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
