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

Its a 1980 model julien, start a topic of your own in a more suitable place , classics / offroad if you have questions, or if you will be re-vamping her perhaps in projects ...Paul

you have PM dt50

do you have a haynes manual?

the current edition drewpy, see yoc facebook

its a closed chamber connected to the inlet, you need to post a photo and state the year of the bike...not enough info i'm afraid, and i'm just guessing because of that

blocked jets surely, remove the main and especially the pilot jet, use a magnifying glass and hold up to the light to see, always use the correct fitting screwdriver in the pilot...one slip and youve shit it! also check the choke hole isnt blocked in the bowl...at the bottom of the tube

but is it getting into the carb then? is there a drain plug or screw at the bottom of the bowl you can remove? I have see filter screens inside of the carb fuel inlet spigot before today...worth checking?

it most likely goes to a 'boost bottle' Gary ?

His name is Pat, a regular poster on this forum. He has exactly the same bike as you Jesper http://yamahaclub.com/forums/user/24569-2-wheels/

are you getting petrol flowing from the pipe to the carb?

hm? Thats a parts list, parts diagram, exploded view...call it what you will .........

A little birdie tell me the YOC gets a mention in 'Bike' magazine...can anyone here give us a report on it

A Haynes Manual? http://www.chinesemotorcyclepartsonline.co.uk/partno_H1655.php

you have a manual? at worst you will have to remove the pv, it's in two halves and extracted from both sides, and clean it, of course you should replace any o rings when doing this. However I havent done this myself so cant speak from experience

Cant see them being any different dom, they have to put dates on them...the next one may be 2004-2012 for example (thats if there is a next one), of course there may be a few differences but you're stuck really arent you? I say get one you never know when the next will be published. please intro in new members

what a great and funny intro Jesper young fella

they are usuall m8 Stuart, cant you measure the one you have? wemoto sell them 30mm and 35mm long heres a link http://www.wemoto.co...e/HL-918030_20/ Have a look at things they have for DT125LC 3 http://www.wemoto.co...Type_35A/86-88/

its the pv cleaning cyce zzzt...zzzt thats what it sounds like take off the pulley cover and you will see it in action, it just moves the pv back and forth to clean off any build up, it's when you dont hear it should worry! hey Flaxa you forgot to intro (new members)

wtf is it with this small text, am getting random strikethrough as well!

must take ages to make something like that
