Wtf is wrong with my GN250?

[unstuck]

$10 says it's moved it may have been seated properly when you put back together but doesn't mean to say that when you slid the vacuum piston back into the carb body that the needle lined up properly with the hole in the emulsion tube....only has to be off centre a fraction and it'll push out of place. And once it's dislocated the whole mechanism is upset

Yeah, my money would be on something simple like that too. I will hold all the betting money for everyone.......Just send it to greedy fucker Gore.

my bike is fully fucked. ... I'm pretty upset and totally over this piece of shit bike. l!

Been telling you that for a while ... Flick it and get something decent ...

I cleaned the carb yesterday and set the float height for Bosslady. The float height was set at 21mm. I changed it to 27mm. Now are we sure of this spec? She had a manual for it but could there be a model year change?

It is very clean inside and all I did was run some carb cleaner through it and blew it out with the compressor. I strongly suspect this float height.

Bosslady text me later, I can pop over tonight for a look with it on the bike if that suits.

Yup 27mm is correct, GNs had no mechanical changes over the years (all of them run a BS34SS Mikuni)
If you haven't got it sorted in a few weeks Bosswimmin, I will try make time to help you when I'm in D'orkland and I'll bring up a carb and a few other bits

Yeah, gobbies are sweet

Like a Boss!

Well the GN can very well go fuck itself! I hate this stupid bike, wish I could upgrade but have to wait so have to fix the little bastard in the interim #@$#@@%%!@#%!



I'll try that but I've already screwed around with something that is far beyond my current comprehension of anything! I think it is best I try and find someone who knows what they are doing.

Leathel I may take you up on your offer I'll just see what I can do this week first, if anything.

Stupid %#^$@&#^@% GN

I know you are you said you are but what am I?

I'll take a stab in the dark and say over thirty and unmarried?

Fuck you're such a loser. And, no.

[imdying]

Don't worry, you'll get there

I just fired up roses bike with stale fuel and it fired up alright and worst case scenario if you cant sort it we can steel her carb to try on yours...

And the trolls on this site are probably just jealous that you have clocked up more k's on a bike that doesn't meet their standard than they have on the garage pony

As long as she comes right before the cold kiwi I'll be happy. Well maybe still a little grumpy that I have a POS bike, but it's a bike, I guess.

Be kind to your bike. It might not be the bike you want now, but it is the bike you have, and it gets you out there 'doing it'. Any bike is going to need a little work from time to time. Chill out.

Isn't that the truth, I got my bike out before, I had to clean the panniers
I have only ever own six bikes, four have been brand new. Don't think I will buy second hand again. One of the two non new bikes I owned cost over $4K in the two and a bit years I had it...never again.

I think that's most of KB including me.

So you've pulled it apart and put it back together and now it's worse than when you started, that's the sort of story people qualified to fix things love to hear.

Fair enough for giving it a go, seems ironic however to be swearing about the bike after you broke it. Correct procedure is to gracefully admit defeat, then get someone that knows what they're doing to fix it and explain what you did wrong.
