Will it run again.?

[EJK]

Dumped the petrol from the airbox, then readjust the carb. I'm not too sure about the carb part but GIJOE knows all. I'll come over soon

EL--I'd start organising a tank--or for your tank to be welded up/araldyted/kneadited properly
I suspect that the knead it repair thats been done is still leaking a bit.
Ya need to get nice bright shiney metal showing then get stuck in with a repair.

[EJK]

Weldings done by previous owner I assume... the Kneadit was done from Kawakawa mechs.

[FROSTY:Me]

-that tank has been leaking for a very long time--its stained the frame
Dont swet it --lets get it sorted so ya can ride again.

[EJK]

That tank has been leaking wayyyyyyyyyyyy before I bought the bike lol

No kidding here

[xwhatsit]

Awesome.

A compression test is definitely a good idea, though. Still possible those inlet valves are in the state Coleman's Suzuki said, or perhaps the rings are farked like everybody said. Have you got a compression gauge, Frosty?

[Ixion]

I think I'd pull that carb off and tear it down. And then reset by the book. Idles OK then dies with throttle could be the diaphragm (slide not lifting). Or a super high fuel level , flooding it once it moves off the pilot jet. Or a few other things. Especially if the carbs been monkeyed about with


Yep, compression test to see what the top ends like. If it idles smoothly, starts readily and has decent compression, there's not all that much wrong.

We suspect its a CDI problem...

We'll see soon

Diddnt do a compression test--it starts and idles quietly with the choke on.Then once warm idles with choke off.
We hauled top off carb and diaphram would not fit in its groove. No amount of cajoling would make it fit.A real bodgey fix has it in the groove.
Checked the jets and all seems to be functioning correctly.
Logic says --it was running ok. whilst slowly filling the crankcase with fuel untill it finally said enough.Not helped by a sick battery/starter motor.
So now just wont lift into run mode

This is for a complete gasket set if needed

Theres also a tank but its in the blue colour scheme, and has a small ding in it, plus a racing cdi here

Fix the current tank i reckon, its just that lip where bottom meets top thats fucked, with the bonus that the bracket holding it gets in the way

[xwhatsit]

What makes you think CDI? Diaphragm might be a bit swollen if it won't fit properly -- I found some replacement (non-OEM) carb rubber bits and bobs did that too after being left in fuel for a while. Left them out to dry overnight and they returned to their correct shape and size.

The first problem the bike had after EJ bought it was traced down to an intake manifold leak. The carb came loose from the manifold. Are you dead sure it's all sealed up nicely?

[MSTRS:Me]

What causes a bike to idle pretty well normally---bettter with choke on
then die when you turn some throttle on??

Badly, and I mean Badly, off air/fuel ratio.

[EJK]

Nothing to do with the carb diaphram up-and-down timing?

Btw, very good website thanks.

I've had similar success drying out rubber parts which have spent too much time swimming in fuel.

If the motor starts and runs on idle then I reckon the comp will be fine and you have a carb/timing issue.

or a loose spark plug (i'm actually serious, i don't remember tightening the plug, might pay to check it)
