I have redone the carbs, spark plugs and battery.... once i give petrol the bike just dies. what can i do? Please help, im at wits end here.
Ttaskmaster Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Howzit BG46! I'm no expert, but the first thing I'd check is the idle speed and carb balancing. Have you checked that the fuel line is clean, HT leads & ignition coils are in good nick, etc?
Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 19, 2015 Moderator Posted March 19, 2015 Let's not turn this thread into a workshop one please. This is not the place for it. The same question is in a new thread in the streetbikes section of the forum. Please direct all help to that post. Thanks.
iandouglas Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Try the kill switch, times I have fallen for that. Plus the side stand switch will cut the engine, so you do not drive with it down.
