ok freza - can you start this in a new thread i have a few possibilities for you.just go onto http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/board,15.0.htmland click new topic (dont want things to get too mixed up)
ok got confused untill i read previous postsbasicly they let air in while your throttle is closed (pilot)(sorry if im writing this in basic terms but its easier for newbies in the future)so if your float needle valve is open and letting in fuel your main jets are effectively closed so this is the easiest route for your fuel to flow through- 90% sure its a jammed float needle problemcould just be a bit of crap made its way through if not its a new needle valve assembly 5-10 quid on ebay but make sure you replace the whole bit and not with (ooh there was a bit of that in a spares box)hope its making sense i am better at doing than explaining (which is why i fail written exams lol)
Can anyone recommend a company to rebuild my carbs? A quick internet search revealed JRS but is there anyone else that you guys think highly of?
Today I checked a few things, and the carb float bowls are filling up ok, there's a spark and the plugs are fine. It's spinning over on the starter so the battery's ok. However, with a spark plug out I'm not getting the faintest whiff of petrol, so the fuel isn't getting into the cylinder.
as pilot screw o-rings were mentioned i thought i best check-did you screw pilot screws all the way in and then out 2.5 turns(dont worry you wont be the first person to forget to screw them out again [size=78%])[/size]
