Aprilia RS250

[InsaneSpeedDemon89]

Had the 1996 aprilia rs250 a week and ran out of fuel and now it wont start again.. was running sweet.
Any ideas?

If there was some shit in the tank and you ran it completely dry then possibly no fuel is coming through from the tap. Is there fuel running from the tap?

What happened when it ran out of fuel?

What happened when it ran out of fuel?
The wheel, perchance, didn't lock with a screech of metal on metal?:sweatdrop

exactly my suspicions :sherlock:

At least 500ml of WATER in the fuel tank... fuel is running from tap etc
i was running on reserve at the time and it must have been sucking water in.
Any ideas on what happens now?
No idea where the water came from? Shitty Caltex Fuel?
Through the top of tank in heavy rain?

Any help is a really great help!

Drain your carbs buddy :-) on the bottom of the carbs there will be a bolt/screw, pull it out to drain the float bowls. Drain the tank. Put in fresh fuel and robert's your aunties husband :)

They now open up all the way!

Make sure they're not opening too far...the slides shouldn't dissappear up through the bodies, but should end flush iirc.
