Vincip92 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Ok so I changed the clutch cable and took off one of the carbs to make it easier to do didnt touch anything on them put the carb back in the boots and now it wont run and if I get it to run it wont idle any ideas on what could have happened bike was running mint before Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 my main guess is i got dirt in the carb and clogged the jets but its always good to have a plan B Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Put the crossover tube back on? Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 yup ran fine with ittoo just one i changed the clutch cable its a pain to start and wont idle it was always a one kick bike since i got it a couple weeks ago Quote
sheerider11 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Did you knock the cable out of the adjuster? Is it sealed up right? I Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) the thumb throttle assembly I have now the adjustment screw is broken i ordered another one a few days ago should be here monday I thought that might be the problem because if you hold the cable out just a hair it ran same thing if u pull the choke out a hair Edited October 4, 2014 by Vincip92 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Choke tube between the carbs hooked up? Slide didn't get turned around? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Check that cables are seated in top of carbs, and in cable splitter. Double check EVERYTHING. Check float levels. It's got to be something simple YOU did putting cable on. Check that choke tube isn't cracked, broke, dryrotted, and that it is on BOTH carbs securely. Quote
oldskool Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 just asking, do you know where the choke tube goes? Is it in good shape? cause it sure sounds like your problem if all you did was remove carb Quote
Vincip92 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 was away for the weekend just got back checked the choke tube had a crack on the end changed it and will test it tomorrow hopefully that will be the fix thanks Quote
03DMshee Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Well? Yeah really...I would have checked it the secod I put the new one on! Quote
