Barnacle Potato Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Hello! I have a bike that isn't running, it tries to start but won't, I've had a look at everything and what is happening is fuel goes into the carb but doesn't go from the carb to the engine. In the pipe thing that connects the carb to the engine is completely dry but fuel is going into the carb. Do I need a new carb or is it fixable? ThanksFor what it sounds like; "> " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Quote
Mr Fro Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I kinda want to say that wants to go around 6 sec but I reckon that's wishful thinking.What does the plug look like after your starting attempts and does it spark if you rest it on the head and crank it over?If you've got spark you could try giving a couple of squirts of carb cleaner/easy-start down in the carb mouth. That'll at least tell you if the carb needs attention. Quote
