Bike not starting after oil, filter & air filter change.

[Dynamo_Delboy]

As the title says.

Just changed the oil filter, oil and air filter on my cbr600f2 (1992)

Started her up. Ran for about 1 minute then cut out and now wont start.

Fuel was switched on so not that. Any ideas?

[Stu]

check your fuel lines you may have trapped one

[Dynamo_Delboy]

Bit off a silly question but any idea what it could be trapped on?

[Tango]

As you will have had the tank off it may be that one of the fuel lines is kinked or not connected properly......lift the tank a bit and have a look at the fuel lines.....

[Stu]

you may not have routed it right and it could be twisted or bent in such a way that its kinked it

also go over your work its probably just a school boy error.....we all make them....still

[Dynamo_Delboy]

Gonna re-check it tomorrow coz it started pissing down.

Cheers mate

[eastanglianbiker]

did you replace the small vaccum hose on the fuel tap and also make sure you havent pulled it off the inlet stub as it sounds like the fuel tap isnt opening

[Dynamo_Delboy]

As far as i could see all hoses were re-attatched mate.

Need to give it a check again tomorrow

[Dynamo_Delboy]

Probably another daft queation here but what way does the elemet in the air filter face. Should the raised side face up or down at the carbs?

Pretty sure ive got it facing up and of this is wrong would this cause any running problems?

[Stu]

chances are it will only fit one way

Is it a K&N you have fitted? it will most likely be raised bit up but either way it would still run

[Dynamo_Delboy]

No mate just a standard 1.

Im hoping its just a kink or a trapped fuel hose.

Dont think the geezer i got the bike off had ever changed the air filter. It was totally black

And the oil was like tar ffs.

So heres the situation, went down today, checked everything i done and all was fine.

Looked at the fuel tap and there is the main hose for fuel and the small 1 next to it. Now heres the problem. I done seem to have any hose for the smaller vaccum next to the main hose and also dont remember taking any hose of the tap apart from the main 1.

Breather hose and drain both on correctly with no kinks aswell.

Battery flat again with trying to start it

[Tango]

Sounds like the vacuum hose for the fuel tap is missing.......you could try putting the tap to the Prime position and trying it again to confirm.....but I wouldn't recommend running it like that for any period of time.....

[Dynamo_Delboy]

Just watched a youtube vid there and when the guy removes the tank there is also no small hose.

As i said mate, dont remember taking it off, there is nothing in the haynes of it ( only drain, breather and main fuel).

And bike was running fine before.

Feel like im gonna explode

[Dynamo_Delboy]

Well 3rd attempt there and guess what i found?

Yip, a petcock vacuum hose

I obviously didn't remember taking it off as it must've sliiped off when raising the tank a wee bit.

All hooked up now, went to start her, got a few splutters like fuel was beginning to flow in and trying to kick up but battery didnt have muchh life after trying earlier.

So charging battery and think it will kick up when full battery goes in.

Well im hoping anyway

[Dynamo_Delboy]

It lives to ride another day.

Thanks for the help
