Carb problem
Posted: 11 Jul 2022, 16:45
My 1995 1100 has been off the road since 2013 knackered tank rusted all along both sided along the seams, anyway I got another one. Last had it running in March 2019 https://photos.app.goo.gl/ssQC9jFv4HBtLSrz6
In this time ive had the carbs out 3 times first time because the bike actually broke down all the rust in them (Old Tank) then I foolishy left it over winter and all the jets the needle eaten away my E5 fuel so I stripped them comepletaly cleaned everthing in my Ulrasonic cleaner fitted all new parts then they have been indoors for a couple of years, I have now fitted new Diaphragms as the old ones had pin holes and where is little stiff. Put them back on, not connected to the air box though filled the carbs and tried to start it,it ran for a little while on choke but stopped then over the next 15 minutes all it was doing was the ocasional fire. Have I missed something?
