August 19, 201115 yr If the tank is more than about 1/4 full it doesnt need the pump mostly anyway, another mystery. I think that relationship changes a lot as the bike gets more verticle and the tank is on the low end of things!
August 19, 201115 yr I think that relationship changes a lot as the bike gets more verticle and the tank is on the low end of things! Havn't read all thread but have a mate who has to put a "peg" on the fuel line before the pump else the bike is always flooded after a trailor ride or overnight..suppose its all about size of float needle ,float height etc. he fitted bigger float jet? (giglateur in French) so as to be able to keep it wound wide open without running out of fuel in the carb the peg is the price he has to "pay".
August 19, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the replies. I took it out and spent 5 mins warming it up to do a gearbox oil change. It started first kick and rode nicely. I then planted it on its side, changed the oil, put it back up and tried to start it and surprise surprise no wanna start. I tried the 'full throttle no choke' idea and it only took 3 kicks. I'll try it again on sunday after a 45 min trailor ride to the club's trial. cheers!
