What do you mean? Are they not meant to have fuel in them?

That's all I meant to check.

Did you remember to cut holes in all the gaskets when you made them...?

Has your bike got one of them exhaust valve things? (EXUP?)

Is it working properly? Maybe it's not opening?

Exup, I didn't even think of it. If that's the problem then I'm coming after you frankie for playing with it.

Don't think it would be that. Even if the exup valves were fully closed, it should still idle, and rev.

I just took the cover off and put it back on...

**Magua** · 15th March 2005, 17:14

Still not working, any ideas? Or an offer of help?

This forum is no place to get your bike fixed as there are plenty of armchair mechanics. Unless a proper mechanic can physically look at it and understand exactly what the original problem was and know exactly what you have tinkered with in the first place, then there is really no point in offering advice. The only real advice I will offer that I consider usefull if find a mechanic and explain what you have done to the machine and pay him or her to fix it. I've rebuilt many a 1970ish Honda inline four, but after looking at a brand new Fireblade and some of the more modern inline fours, v-twins etc, I'm fucked if I would touch them with a barge pole, let alone with a tool. Unless it is basic maintianance and even then I'd rather take it to a dealer. I think form what I have read and I apologise in advance if I'm wrong, but you have played bush mechanic and played with things you know little of?

Bugger!

I'm not the kind of person to tear into a bike without knowing what I'm doing. I only touched the bike after been told and shown what to do by someone mechanically minded. We all make mistakes, I missed a step which I can now remedy. Gasket Glue, I forgot about that. Thanks for the bad rep

If the carbs are not finely tuned then the bike will either run like an arse or not run at all. Its fine to make the mistake, I'm just trying to offer some relevant advice. Yea I know a little about bikes and unless your bike has some majour brainfart of an electrical system then yea I could fix it. BUT the point is that without being able to work on it, look at it and get all the relevant info then I seriously doubt if you will find a quick fix here dude. My bike crapped out in the weekend. I know enough to know what is wrong and what parts are required, oh and the important part. Where to take it to get the electrical problem fixed...

Um... So if we are not suposed to ask advice on how to fix a bike what exactly is the point of this site Honda? Wern't you one of the ones commenting on how there was too much non-bike related stuff on here latley?

Plenty of peaple on here do actually know what they are talking about, though Honda does have a point in that some peaple who may not know exactly what they are talking about, you just need to find out which ones are for real wich isn't that hard. At least I hope so cause I'm gonna be askin for advice soon aswell.

**inlinefour** · 15th March 2005, 20:09

But I think perhaps a mechanic working on the bike in question might be in order?

Ok I take back what I said. Sufferin from bike withdrawl syndrom or somethin

**Magua** · 15th March 2005, 20:13

Well if it doens't work after I try the gasket glue then I'm not touching it anymore, a mechanic can take it away then.

**inlinefour** · 15th March 2005, 20:18

Like I said the carbs need to be will balanced and tuned to make the bike run well. Otherwise it'll run like an arse or not run at all. This I also learned the hard way at a younger age. I was lucky that I had a mechanic to ask questions every time I made a mistake (and yes I made plenty), but this allways required inspection of what I was doing first.
