Benny, Thanks for the reply, I will try that tomorrow, there appears to be suction to the rear hose as when I disconnected the tube to the balancer I could feel air when I put my finger over the end of it. Does the revs need to be at a certain figure? I had it running at around 15/1700 rpm! is that ...

Hi Guys, I have been busy lately, kitchen, decorating etc, anyway I managed to get the balance gauges on the Storm tonight and the rear cylinder does not seem to making the gauge move at all, the front one is bouncing the gauge up and down, its a carbtune 4cylinder unit, I have set up the vacuum pip...

Thanks chap, I have not had chance to get to it today but I am going to Halfords in a mo to see what hose's etc they have.

Mark

Cheers guys,

I am going to sort out the vac hose tomorrow, I will also check the insulator bands between the carbs and cylinder heads just to be sure while I have it stripped down.

Is it worthwhile changing all the hoses due to age or just go through each one by one?

Mark

Cheers Benny,

I will get it sorted, balance the carbs, replace the plugs and hopefully she will be fine.

Even if its only the tube going from the cylinder to the petcock? never thought of that one,

Benny thanks for the advice, I will sort through the pipes, the vacuum hose from the petcock to the cylinder is splitting on the inner core when I removed it from the petcock, so I'll replace that one. I will replace or sort out the clip so the breather is tight. I have actually got the carbtune bal...

Hi all, I have removed the tank, air filter and housing, however the breather hose going from the airbox to the rear cylinder seems very loose, literally I can just pull it off the cylinder without compressing the clip thats on there, could this cause the issue? I am not sure how critical the breath...

Chris, thanks for the offer chap, I think its more the case that as I have not done it before, I am just a bit worried that I don't do any damage.

Mark

Chris, thanks for the link, I have printed that out, I was hoping someone might have been able to pop round and say yep its firing on 1 cylinder, misfiring etc etc.

Hi all, I have a carb balancer coming from a mate of a mate on Tuesday hopefully, anyone local fancy giving me any advice?

Thanks

Benny,

Can I ask the question is that for the smaller vacuum hoses, its 4mm internal diameter?

Thanks

Hi all, Is there anybody in Bristol who has a carb balancer and fancy giving me a hand of letting me borrow the unit? I have a problem with my storm at the mo and its in need of having the carbs balanced but funds are tight at the mo so I cant just stick it in the shop and get it done. On offer is g...

Ok chap, looks like I'll strip off the tank again, check vacuum lines, bowls etc.

Thanks
