Greetings Shaun

Greetings Pledge lol With that bike? hey classics would be good

Pledge this forum is for intros mate

The length will affect the ride height, if its too far different it will either make it difficult to get your feet down, or the other way round, could cause bottoming out...just guessing though

I dont know the answer but why not compare the length and bolt / pivot sizes for the two models, and if necessary make an adapter sleeve if required, also compare the two bikes to see if they have a similar linkage arrangement

it doesnt have an ignition light Pete, you mean oil light (bulb check)

Greetings Rolfie

Nice intro Dad Lets start with a spark then, has it or hasnt it? have you checked for spark yet? and done the usual with WD40, spraying around the plug cap etc?

mobllette was my intro to bikes too

Mark yeah leave it as it is and get without asap

lol whats the ped? its not far off a bicycle...did you finish it?

Nice intro fella, yeah the XJR 13's are really nice, I like the retro look of em oh and there are some really 'interesting' people in here

how the fuel gets to the engine, lol thats complicated and i'm not about to write an essay...Like I say check the vents are clear and the hole to the choke lift tube is clear, then at least it should run on choke

get the choke working first, it should then start and if it wont run with the choke off after that...well thats another story. also you need to check the bowl vent is clear The choke see the brass tube coming down from the carb body, it goes down into a bored hole in the bowl, at the bottom of that bored hole is a tiny hole into the bowl for fuel to pass through...you need to pass a very small pricker wire through the hole to make sure it's clear. Then the choke shold work and the engine should then run on choke

its a common fault that the choke will not stay out, it doesnt really matter though...you can just hold it out. Your carb does look rough as a bears arse doesnt it!!! but I fear you will have a long wait to find another

Two things, 1: is the choke plunger fitted and working ? 2: dont really like the look of the pilot jet but it's best left alone as yet because if you damage the screwdriver slot you're in deep sh1t you need to investigate the choke first, so is the plunger working correctly? oh and clarify this "It's getting to the float bowl. Just not getting past that point?. " we need it to get further than 'to' the bowl, we want fuel in the bowl
