February 18, 201214 yr Went to fit two inline filters to my 2012 this morning, one from the tank to the pump and one from pump to carb, after a bit of problems getting the air box back on, I got everything back together, kicked her over and started first kick but on huge revs, even after choke put off, switched it off, started her again, same problem. Went to start her a third time, and now it won't start at all ??? Any ideas ? First on the very high revs and now on the non starting ?? Fuel lines aren't kinked, filter arrows pointing in direction of flow !! Edited February 18, 201214 yr by Thedbf

February 18, 201214 yr Check that the throttle cable hasn't pulled out at the top of the carb, and is holding the throttle wide open.
February 18, 201214 yr Author lack of fuel? ie putting too much strain on the pump, hence why one filter before the pump? Seems you were on the money fella Removed filter between pump and carb, re fit line, put together, kicky, kicky, starty, starty
February 18, 201214 yr Seems you were on the money fella Removed filter between pump and carb, re fit line, put together, kicky, kicky, starty, starty i only know because i thaught about it with a much cleverer man than me, and he said it would be a bad idea, plus massivly decrease life of pump!
February 18, 201214 yr Author Nice one. Saved me using the young lads bike tomorrow and him having to sit in the house all day Now at least he'll get a ride also tomorrow
February 18, 201214 yr 2012 has a fuel tap now which may include a guaze filter anyway. prob no need for another

February 19, 201214 yr I believe it does, but also believe they aren't the best of filters. Mayby you should filter you stuff before you put it in the tank then!!!!! The wifes old guaze will prolly do!
