cabby Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) 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, 2012 by Thedbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw dave Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Check that the throttle cable hasn't pulled out at the top of the carb, and is holding the throttle wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
