Ok....I've just had the diaphragm off and inspected it and I can't find any splits/tears in it. Will it be obvious? Is there anything else to check with the diaphragm/petcock re fuel in the vac hose? Help!!!!!!!!!! Put the diaphragm back on and turned the tank over and petrol is pissing out of the h...

Hey what about this then. Phoned the dyno place this morning to tell them I wouldn't be coming due to 'mechanical problems'. They said no problem, but why didn't I come down on Saturday anyway as they were having an open day and dyno runs were free

Cheers Pete. What about the Scottoiler running on the front carb? Anything to make sure on here?

Thanks Johnny. I was thinking of cancelling the dyno for the reasons you mentioned. I'd rather replace the petcock and see how it is after that. Also, while your at it - check the front cylinder vacuum port - it should be blanked off with a screw - again, remove and replace with some thread lock, ju...

Is it important that you clamp the vac pipe when balancing? I have a t-piece on the vac pipe to the rear carb which I simply connect the guage to and remove the scottoiler from the front carb and connect the other guage pipe to. It seems to work without clamping or am I missing something?

Hi Vicki, good to have you on board. Just down the road in Chorley. Sometimes commute into Manchester (when its not pissing down!) As Kaz said, whereabouts r u in Gtr Man?

Johnny.

I think it is this. The bike isn't running particularly well. I have it booked on a dyno run on Friday. Popping on the new road legal cans I got recently and having problems balancing the carbs. How easy is it to change the fuel petcock

Thanks Ian

I had a feeling it might be that, but I'm sure Del had said in a previous thread that if the diaphram had gone, fuel would be everywhere. What do you think?

I have a t-piece in the vacuum pipe for carb balancing. I've been messing with the carb balancing this week and twice I have noticed petrol in the t-piece. Anyone know why this is?

Further to the indicator prob, came to start it today, turned the key, lights came on as usual, pressed start button, heard a 'pop', lights on the display had gone out and completely dead. Took seat off, removed all the fuses (which were all ok) and then saw another 2 'big fuses' which I removed and...

Thanks Pete.......my thumbs are just fine you smart butt

It was the fuse. Thanks Ian, probably saved me a good half hour of pissing about checking for loose wires

Thanks guys. Must admit, thought it might be loose connection. Not sure if horn and brake light still work, will have a quick look tomorrow. Cheers

I'm having some problems re balancing. I appear to have it all balanced up, take it out next day and sounds like a bag o' spanners. Check it again to find it it out, and needs adjusting. Is it a bit of pain in the butt to get it right or have I got another problem? I did have a bit of petrol in the ...

Coming back from work tonight and noticed indicators not working. Will not get chance until weekend to investigate, to save me a bit of time, has anyone got any suggestions what it could be?
