XTreme Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 40 minutes ago, Sir Fallsalot said: Since i couldn't go out on any of the bikes today i decided to start them all as its been a while. Everyone started except for the CB battery is totally dead, i got an old car battery to jump start it she fired up but not like it normally does and would only run on full choke. My infrared thermometer confirmed what i thought only running on two cylinders so strips the bowl off the one carb and its full of shit and the pilot jet is blocked. To get at the rest of the carbs i had to remove them first time on this bike and its a bitch Every bowl was like this, how the fuck its run all these years i don't know. Put it all back together and she's singing again How long you had it Fred? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and your vacumn cleaner is gayer than a gay thing When i bought the bike Bob there was no filters on the fuel tap. I found out when i ran out of fuel and turned it to reserve to find it didn't have one. Managed to get hold of another fuel tap with the filters fitted i checked them and their clean so it must be from before i fitted them As for the vacuum cleaner all i'm saying is it could suck a golf ball through a garden hose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
