Need help

[Jens Eskildsen]

Yeah, somthing sounds way off.
Have you checked the fuelheight in the carb? Does the carb overflow and throw gas on the ground ?

[Jens Eskildsen]

Are you by any chance missing the washer just under the main jet?
That will cause a very rich condition.

[Calum]

@vtrn_raptor It's the fueling not the powervalve. That's why it's spluttering.

[vtrn_raptor]

Nope no fuel on the ground and I don't recall their being a washer under the main jet either

[Calum]

@vtrn_raptor Well there is...

Can't say I ever noticed that lol.

But I guess I'm not running the stock carb.

[vtrn_raptor]

I'm going to do what you said and put carb back stock and work from their

[vtrn_raptor]

Got someone who knows their way around a dt coming up tonight so fingers crossed

[Jens Eskildsen]

Ifyoure missing the washer, that could very well be your main problem, please give it a shot!

When youre missing the washer, the carb will suck fuel around the mainjet aswell, making it very very rich.

[vtrn_raptor]

It was the washer causing the problem the bikes running so nice now

[declan]

@vtrn_raptor yesssssssss happy for you

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor congrats

[vtrn_raptor]

Thanks guys I'll make a build thread soon as I have some time to kill with a few pictures

[Mightyman]

I'm very glad you got this sorted without the help of a garage. It would have been wasted money mate!

[terry.tz]

best part its one of them things were a garage won't have a clue can't imagine this being that common is it @Jens-Eskildsen

[Jens Eskildsen]

Mine were the same when i bought it. I chased it for weeks, leening out the whole carb before i looked at a parts fiche.
I knew right away what was wrong when i saw the missing washer.

I think its just easy to misplace that one.

[terry.tz]

@jens-eskildsen fare enough

[vtrn_raptor]

Feels good to be riding again lol now I have another question how can I replace a steering lock

[terry.tz]

@vtrn_raptor drill it out and replace it there is a thread on here about it I think

[terry.tz]

my bad just been looking but can't imagine it being hard really just drill the core and mangle the pins pull the guts out and you should see how to take it out but there like £35 so I tried picking it but keyways just too small for me

[vtrn_raptor]

Okay I'll give it a go as don't really want a bike with no steering lock lol as where I live the bike theft rate is ridiculous
