Greetings Ric theres a tutorial on uploading pics via photobucket, I think it's in the noobs forum.

Greetings jdn cant help with the syncing, never done it since I had an RD250 many moons ago but I too am thinking I should find out so I can check my bandit.

Greetings Dean i'm off to Lincoln bikefest this Sunday, given an MOT pass Tax and nice forecast....meet a couple of others there...see the topic

I'll bet it is.

Hi Dee Hi a few XVS baby hang around here

Greetings and Anne, nice part of the world ...a bit wet though?

Greetings Josh $50

It sounds like a very good idea instead of butchering the cover with holes, like was done extensively with the little DT's of yesteryear.

Greetings RB and yeah I think you'll get lots of encouragement here.

Greetings bardur the beast tamer Would love a go of one of those bikes.

maybe not I cannot say, perhaps you could take off the inlet manifold and use a mirror and a small led light or the light on your cell phone to see down the inlet tract. If you see something...how about a compressed air line to blow it out?? Dunno it's your call but have a look while you have the carb off.

Greetings erik What a great intro you have made, hope you get lots of fair weather to enjoy your new old toy. ...Paul

Could it be possible that a large enough piece of the filter has passed through the carb and is resting at the inlet valve...blocking the airflow?

It might be a good idea to study a parts manual/list, it will show exploded views of the engine.

What ratio do you want? I would guess 40:1 5 litres is 5000 ml (millilitres) 5000/40 = 125ml so then 125ml of oil in 5 litres fuel Mobile phones have a calculator so it's easy enough to work out in the garage forecourt.

keep an eye on your spark plugs because this type of mod could cause lean running

sounds to me your crank is full of fuel...or coolant

How about tank venting, when the issue arises stop and open the gas cap...hear any rush of air? Greetings

Hardly thin petrol would pour through like a tap...this would be the oil slug more likely. still no sign of life then?

fair point but with hardly any compession suction will also suffer badly?

we love long winded Jim and great intro sir.

Greetings and Reverand...How was work today?
