Aha, well notes thanks. I’ve now ordered new hoses and clips to pick up tomorrow. fingers crossed

Hi, I’ll check the hoses and clips and the rubber boot to the carburettor tomorrow thanks. Why not E10 petrol?

The engine was running before the valve was changed. Now I’ve worked on the valve I hunk the electrical supply is for the level float attached to the valve. This will display the tank level when it gets low. The earth is good on the valve. There is no noise and I can’t feel the valve doing anything when I turn the ignition on. I’ll try to get a good supply to the carb and see what happens? I’m thinking it’s the carb as I’ve just been told it was hard to start before the valve change, but once running it was ok.

Hi, The hoses are 6mm and 10mm so only go on one way. The valve is new. I cannot feel or hear anything at the valve when I turn on the ignition or when trying to start the bike. I did suck on the vacuum tube and the petrol flows from the supply tube. I can feel a little vacuum at the carb vacuum port but it’s maybe not enough to operate the valve. I have just attached the vacuum hose to the valve and ran a hose from the supply pipe to a container (in open air) and turned the engine over. I only got a small amount of fuel coming out, not a constant flow? Could this be a carb problem?

Hi, thanks for the reply. No offence taken. All advice is welcomed. The plug is fully inserted. The side stand up, in neutral (and pulling clutch lever), kill switch is In correct position and battery fully charged. Though I can’t hear the valve operating when I switch the ignition on. I’ll double check again when I get a chance.

Hi everyone, im a newbie to the forum. I am trying to help my son sort a problem on his 2012 Yamaha XT125X. the fuel valve (electronic) was leaking and after much searching I managed to find a new one. It looks the same as the one that was removed. After I installed the valve the bike will not start. I’ve checked and it looks like there’s no fuel getting through the valve to the carb? Has anyone had this problem before? Or can anyone give me any ideas what to check. I’ve checked the fuse and it is good, on the old valve I tried to blow through both of the tubes coming off it and they don’t allow any air through. But in the new valve I can blow air through both tubes? I tried starting the bike with the tubes from the valve disconnected and no fuel comes through. I can’t install the old one to try this as it leaks from the body of the valve. I have attached a pic of the old valve. any help or advice is welcomed.
