Hey all.
The thin copper pipe on my far right carbi has snapped off from the top of the carbi.
I think its a choke vacuum line.
The bike seems to flood at the lights making take off sluggish unless I rev it a lil before taking off, also has a little trouble starting some mornings unless I hold my finger over the exposed hole on the pipe.
Anyone know If I can just block up the tube and it should correct this issue at the light / morning starts ?
I cant seem to find a replacement tube and have been quoted big bucks to have the copper pipe braized back together.
I have a feeling the bike shop I took it to a year ago just tuned the carbis to run rich, and told me I needed to buy new carbis, rather than tell me I had the broken line.
The bike also seems to be a lil thirsty. $20 to go 120 highway km's comapred to my mates er6n injected doing about 200kms for $20 ..the leaking line / rich carbi causing this ? or is this common in carbi bikes ?
