okay..so i cleaned my carbs...raised needles by 0.5mm installed my carbs back...they went on properly as well...checked valve clearances.. which was all fine..i left the alignment at t2...got told it wouldnt matter where the timings where.. and i installed everything and now the bike wont start...??? i dont know whats causing this.. also there is one pipe i dont know where it goes. i forgot where i took it out of..

that loong thin midle hose... anyone know where it goes?

Vacume pipe by any chance?

nope ive connected the vaccum pipe. its on the other side of the bike. its thinner than that and its braided.

Thats what i thought but couldnt see your vacume on the other side. it doesnt matter where you leave the timing so you must have just overlooked something when putting it back together

:\ i dont know what i could have done wrong... when i noticed it wasnt gonna work. i took the tank off and fuel a little fuel spilt from the fuel hose.. so i know fuel was going into the carbs...im so annoyed now. anything else i could of done wrong? anyone else had a problem after taking out the carbs and installing them back on?

another thing. cleaned my spark plugs by submergeing them in non-leaded petrol for 4 days...could that have broken the plugs?

Corrected that for you...

New plugs will fix it straight up.


I'm intrigued - why would you think to do something like that?!

haha :D well, one of my friends said submerging them in petrol for a few days would clean them....obviosuly not. i shall buy new plugs. and hopefully my bike will start up.
