Project start up issue help please
Can anyone help today was the first start up
Of my project after completing.
The bike fired into life off the choke then I dropped it off thought great. Then when i reved the bike it seemed slow to increase the revs . The idle on the bike doesnt drop below 3 grand and if reved hand stalls on the come down . Also the revs seem slow to drop any ideas . And at one point when i reved it the revs shot up and i had to kill the bike , The carbs have been vapor blasted and ultrasound cleaned . They are spotless any ideAs cheers

One thing i did notice was the fuel tap allowed fuel passing it without vaccum is that correct ? when i turned the tap on fuel comes directly out , i heard the carbs fill up and i tested it just blowing also

Re: Project start up issue help please
Slow return to idle often means there is an air leak somewhere. Are you using old crusty carb-to-intake rubbers? On the other hand I've brought a couple of bikes back to life with a carb cleaning after carbs were left with old fuel in them, and believed revs were dropping slowly. Both times I buttoned up the bike and took it for a ride. After a bit of use, they seemed fine.

Yes the carb rubbers are old they didnt look cracked so i thought they would be ok ill have to get a new set and re try , when i first got the bike i stripped the carbs and tested the running before rebuild and the idle was good and seemed ok on the running side . Would the air leak make the revs hold where they lie and shoot the revs up or is this another fault

Re: Project start up issue help please
Ok been messing all day with no joy i checked the rubbers out and they all seem nice and soft and no splits / cracks . So cleaned everything and refitted .
Still the same issue . So i then swapped the jets and checked all i could on the carbs but now the bike doesnt run . Thought it must be the change of jets returning to the original, build it all back up still no joy bike doesnt even start now . Iv checked its sparking thats ok . Maybe iv just flooded it but i waited a couple of hours but still the same .
Im desperate for help any suggestions

Re: Project start up issue help please
Well Romney1, you are having some problems mate! What with the paintwork and now this Where are you? Maybe someone lives near enough to give you a hand. Don't give up but leave it a day or two before having another go, rather than get in a tizzy. You'll get it sorted.

Re: Project start up issue help please
Ino tell me about it .the paints all sorted i thought i was on the home run . Now this , i cant see it being anything major i just cant understand whats bloody happend . Iv ordered some genuine inlet rubbers and the fuel tap vaccum unit as thats not operating correctly but i dont think thats my starting issue it just refuses to start. The plugs where new on start up i removed them and cleaned and heated there all sparking strong . I have read that if they flood sometimes they need replacements even if they spark ? Thats a bummer they just set me back £50 ish , i have my old set that the bike was running on so ill try that i need to take a step back or ill smash the thing up . I live just outside warrington in cheshire . The carbs might need balancing but i havnt adjusted anything on that side and on the first start up before the strip the bike idled normal . Plus i dont own carb setting tool or di any of my pals . Literally from 9am till 12 midnight i was in that garage yesterday if anyone can help me id love that

It might be worth looking at the choke. Mine was always a right pain to start but having just cleaned them it's much better.

Re: Project start up issue help please
The plungers have been removed and cleaned and iv made sure the adjustment isnt holding them open , iv read the rectifier could be a possible issue . When it was running is was at a steady 14. Something volts so im ruling that out . But i cant check that now as isnt bloody starting
