I had same issue with mine, dealer suggested and I have used TWICE now 3M windshield adhesive (black colored). Just get the area totally clean and free from gas/oil like the prior person said.
Used JB weld on mine when it had the same problem.It held for the 2 years I had the bike.You have to get the area really clean,I scuffed it up then zapped it with brake cleaner
cheers, what JB weld did you use ? standard or plastic bond, I have got standard but ordered jb weld plastic bond thinking it would be better.
What is the tank made of? I would be tempted to solder it if it's steel and if it's aluminium then use one of those low temp ally weld sticks and a gas torch, either way you need to flush the tank out thoroughly to remove fumes and fuel. I have had this issue loads of times with vintage gas tanks on old farm engines and repaired without issues.
Hi, my sons txt racings fuel tank is leaking from the spigot that the the fuel tap pushes into.
I thought it was the tap but its the spout/spigot that the tap pushes into.
On further inspection it is threaded into the tank with a bonding agent at the factory, the part is not available a on its own it comes as part of a new tank. I was wondering if anybody else has had this happen and what you used to seal it ? I have ordered some JB weld plastic bond which is apparently fuel resistant, but any other ideas would be very welcome. cheers.
if you are trying to eliminate the throttle just remove cable and pull that.
Regardless if you are encountering a carb problem best to strip carb and clean just to be sure.
Kehein?
if possible ride with a fast tube.
Yeah , we were rushing a bit , I will look into carb/jets etc. Having just got the bike we wanted to see how it went etc. We bought it from a friend so I will ask if he had any issues. cheers all.
Hi, my son just bought the above bike, we went to practice today and it was fine , when he went to get over something bigger it bogged, badly..I had a go and when I wound the throttle wide it bogged like the brakes were on.
We went back to the van for a head scratch and fitted the quick action from my sherco ( white tube, one that came off was black ).
fixed !!! now I am glad it is but I cant for the life of me see why.
We tried everything to make it bog again and it wouldn't.. any ideas ? cheers
I had this, took ages and loads of kicks to start , then it would run fine all day, turned out to be in line fuel filter. I think once it had a flow it was fine but wouldn't pull fuel through. It looked clean but I cut it open to see after fitting a new one and it was partially blocked. 2014 sherco 250 st
Yeah I did, I lowered the fork so it was held by the lower clamp in the middle of the slider. I think finger tight from now on is ok. cheers people. flooky
Hi, I have managed to round off the small square top on the compression side of my sons evo (2011 250). its all back together but I don't hold out much hope for next time, without wrecking it completely.
Any ideas, machine it smaller ? buy a new top? any body else had this trouble ? to be fair it was a bit wrecked when we bought the bike . I am not a complete animal !
