I bough a rvf a year ago, i started once but as the carbs were so dirty I tried to clean them n messed them so I bought another set.

I wanted to know if the engine would start with the carbs on without the air filter. My vfr 750 would was wondering as I tried?

I was using a carb cleaner spray that I used on my vfr, but the thing is about to start but won't So probably I should look elsewhere like spark plugs / spark.

I have used carb cleaner straight under the headstock and it catches and fires..

I'll bet you have killed the plugs, so, as per 10% of all NC posts - get them out, dry them in the oven or on a gas hob, let the fuel evaporate from the bike.

Get it charged up

Make sure the vacuum hose is on the right spigot and tomorrow..with full choke and no throttle..it will start. If not catching asap,spray under the top yoke and keep going..

good luck

WHat is the history of it as well? When did it last run?

The last run was a year ago.
I m using my vfr 750 battery to start it as it s more powerfull.

I m also looking for 3 of those seals. Anyone has got them for sale?
