Reply To: Carby 250 dies when choke turned off
Have’nt touched the bike for a couple weeks as I needed to put the battery back into the race bike for a race that came up – I only have 1 battery between the 2 bikes.
In repsonse to your comments Marcel;
- The auxilary tank has a new inline filter on the feed hose.
- The air box and filter were fitted. I didn’t have a carb cleaner spray can at the time – will have to try this to see if there is a leak in this area.
- I only put my fingers over both inlet vacuum hoses at the same time when running – I’ll try plug them and clamp them tight.
- I had opened both fuel pumps at the time, and they were both clean and seemed to be functioning fine. Rubber seals all looked good.
- I haven’t opened the oil cap to smell for petrol but am familialr with this problem. I’ve had it on a dirt bike. – I’ll have a sniff to make sure it hasn’t occured.
- Compression – I just realised 2 mistakes I made, 1) I didn’t hold the throttle open when testing. 2) I hadn’t checked the valve clearances – I’ll have to check the clearances and re-do the test.
Hopefully get a chance to try this weekend.
