Welcome and try these ?
- Sounds stupid, is the “Tap” on the tank fully working ? If its faulty, replace that first.
Or check that it’s on RESERVE mark , in case the other spigot is clogged for the “ON” part. (it has 2 spigots = ON + RESERVE) - Fuel Pump = Open it very slowly and use carb cleaner gently and close it back as it has springs inside and a rubber diaphragm (Don’t spray inside the SILVER VACUUM PORT)
- Check vacuum diagram (like this one)
- Check fuel lines is going to correct places (like this one)
- Run to Halfords and get only “YELLOW BRADEX EASY START” and spray the Air Filter! (not the airbox) , just the filter, so its wet ,
- Full Choke,
- Crank the bike and twist throttle up and down really quickly and let go of the starter motor after 5 seconds so you don’t burn the starter or its relay
- At this point, it should be screaming at 4k revs on choke, leave it there for 5 mins.
- Then slowly reduce the choke
- Check the “MAGNETO SIDE” under the coils for an idle adjuster cable, make sure it idles at 1.500 rpm cold or maximum 1800 rpm hot.
