That's where the fuel pisses out if you open that screw .

[Guest Richzx6r]

I'm definitely starting to think you should have taken a few pics of this area before started playing about

[fastbob]

The fuel is flowing from tank into where its connecting

I havent touched anything yet everything is the way it was the only thing connected to the carb is the fuel line that leads to the tank thats literally it

Possibly it had one originally and was replaced with a non-vacuum one . Would explain why its capped off

[Lincoln97]

Yes cos this carb is kinda different to the one in the other picture but again there is only one hose that connects to the fuel tank and the carb and fuel is running through it when the tap is on

Have you got a photo of the back of the fuel tap

[Lincoln97]

Yes

Ok no worries, maybe the previous owner has been messing around with it and has lost something that was needed and didnt tell you

[Lincoln97]

Im not sure i dont have a vehicle to take the bike anywhere to getnit looked at and dont wanna be paying if its just a little problem

[Guest Richzx6r]

Are you still in/able to contact the previous owner?

[Lincoln97]

No as the previous owner was a collector and never touched the bike himself

[Stu]

I can't see nothing on the back its too blurry can you try and get a better one for us please

[Lincoln97]

Theres literally nothing there only one pipe and thats for the fuel line which i have connected to the carb

[Stu]

if thats the case and your getting fuel to the carb then I would start looking to make sure you have spark

Already done, spark looks decent

[Lincoln97]

Spark is brand new ngk it has good spark

[Guest Swagman]

Sounds like no fuel getting from carb blocked jets clean out carb, did you try putting small amount of fuel straight in to spark plug hole Then put plug back and try to start if it fires your carb is blocked.

I brang the bike to a mechanic and they didnt even bother with it said its not worth fixing and apprently theres a piece missing from the head cylinder but when i asked what it was he didnt have a clue what he was talking about im one step away to throwing the bike in the bin literally

Better still why not break it up and sell the parts and recoup some of the money that you payed for it?

[Guest Richzx6r]

Or....give it to me
