Still no fuel in the engine
I have fiddled and researched, and I still can’t get it to start. Fuel makes it to the float bowls, but no further. I thought maybe there was some kind of vacuum issue, or lack of it, but all the hoses appear to be connected and I don’t see any place where it could be leaking. There is a black cover that screws down on top of the brown fiber gasket. The needle for the main jet goes into the hole in the bottom of the carb, in the middle of the venturi.
This is the sleeve that slides down into the carb, the needle is attached to this.
The cover has a spring inside that pushes against the sleeve to keep it from bouncing around and letting too much gas into the engine.
I guess I will have to bundle the whole mess up and take it to the repair shop, because I don’t see anything wrong.
Hey Dan
Bike is looking nice. I am waiting to hear how you made out with the carbs. Did you get this fixed?
Keep up the good work!
Later
