DT 125R not starting

[Oisin]

@Calum Ok thanks Calum I'll give it a try

[Oisin]

@Calum I did that and she fired briefly (thanks be to God) where should I go from here?

[Calum]

@Oisin Well it's a fueling issue then by the sounds of it.

Take the carb off and ensure the needle isn't shutting the float off.

[Oisin]

@Calum Ok ill play around with the carb and let u know thanks again

[Oisin]

@Calum I checked the float and adjusted it to be in line with the carb bidy itself. I cleaned out the fuel tank and tried again, still nothing. Any ideas on what gat I can do next? Would it be worth talking of the side panel of the carb and looking in there?

[Calum]

I'm sorry, I'm really confused.

The bike was working, you then broke a fuel line and now it doesn't work?

So quite clearly the only thing that's changed is that fuel line.

[Oisin]

@Calum I know I'm lost myself what else could it possibly be like. So frustrating

[Calum]

Well it sounds like a fueling issue.

[Oisin]

@Calum Would u have any ideas where I would go from here

[Calum]

Yes, check the fueling.

@Oisin is it possible at all that when you replaced said fuel pipe it was connected back up incorrectly/ wrong place/wrong way around? Just a thought.

[markus.w]

@Oisin maybe check said fuel pipe is actually allowing fuel to pass through. I presume it's a new pipe but stranger things have happened.

[Calum]

@markus-w I had this when I replaced it with a silicone host, it kinked and stopped fuel from flowing.

Use properly braided and rated fuel hose. Is my advice.

[markus.w]

@Calum yes I agree. That's good advice. Some parts it doesn't matter so much but there's certain things you just can't skimp on.

[Oisin]

@markus-w got it going it was the fuel line thanks very much

[markus.w]

@Oisin happy days, you're most welcome. Can I ask what was wrong with the fuel line?

[Oisin]

@markus-w It appeared to be kinked under the fuel tank and so I couldn't see it. I also have the tank a good clean out which helped a lot I think
