[redacted] that’s my email mate, but unfortunately I don’t have the old handle bar anymore
I’ve changed the fuel pump and the tank tap, I have a little bit of fuel in my fuel filter but it’s still not starting
Thanks for the reply and no I haven’t had any progress. I will get a new tank tap just to be safe but when I suck on the suction pipe fuel does come out, I’ve already bought a new fuel pump for it. What way is the arrow supposed to be facing on the fuel filter? Towards the tank or towards the ground?
I’ve tried everything you said to try and the bike still doesn’t want to start, is there anything else I could try?
I’m struggling to get fuel from my tank into my carb, I’ve bought a new fuel pump and I’ve checked the hoses for any blockages. when I manually suck on the vacuum pipe fuel comes out of the fuel pipe but when I connect everything back up and try to start it nothing goes into to fuel pump and then into the carb, was wondering if there was anything I could try?
Fuel tap is faulty (just replace it as it will 100% leave you stranded) or there is lack of vacuum to open the taps when engine cranks. Lack of vacuum follows on
- Rotted / Old ORings under the rubber intake manifolds
- Airbox is not sitting in the carb 100% (especially the front where tiny air still gets sucked in)
- Intake manifolds (spray carb cleaner when running to see if revs change , then intake pipes have a problem)
- Loose vacuum hoses or clogged hoses (i hope not)
- metal manifold clamps holding the carbs down are loose. (don’t overtighten as inlets are very difficult to get brand new)
thank you, it’s a 2013 so it doesn’t have a fuel tap, it’s something to do with the vacuum, I’ll give those a try and if still nothing I’ll be back in touch, thanks againI’m struggling to get fuel from my tank into my carb, I’ve bought a new fuel pump and I’ve checked the hoses for any blockages. when I manually suck on the vacuum pipe fuel comes out of the fuel pipe but when I connect everything back up and try to start it nothing goes into to fuel pump and then into the carb, was wondering if there was anything I could try?
