Tango Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Welcome to TMBF mate. .....pop over to the Newbies section and introduce yourself to the guys when you can. ...... Is the bike carbed or injection? .....have you checked for a spark at the plugs? My guess is fuel starvation..... Quote
carman Posted April 15, 2017 Author Posted April 15, 2017 Hi ,it,s a 2000 model with a carb,i think it has a pump which works by a vacuum system,it will run all the time if I spray easy start into air cleaner box,got a manual on cd but can,t find the bleeden thing cheers Mick Quote
Tango Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Give the carbs a tap with the blunt end of a screwdriver on the float bowls, in case the floats have stuck..... Quote
carman Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 Hi, Tapped the carb,blew through the pipes that go to the pump/carb,sprayed petrol into the air intake and it started to run ok,so not sure why it started, but thanks for the reply Mick Quote
Tango Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Sounds like something had stuck and now it's freed up......hopefully it'll keep running now...... Quote
