How the hell do you get the carbs off the RVF 400, are they bolted on to somthing im not seeing?? i have slackened all the jubilee uppers... but other than that the manual wont tell me anything else except "theyre a tight fit" no kidding they wont move at all hmm im very confused?? what is holding them on?
yep lol they just needed a hell of alot of encouragment. i soaked them in WD then my dad had to get a big bit of wood to jimmy it off.. they came off eventually just the rubbers where so old and tight. anyhow the carbs seem fine just got the trouble of gerrin them back on now lol.
my bike has been stalling just after ive warmed it up.. so thought id check the carbs out see if there was any thing wrong but theyr ein pretty good shape for their age. so im changing the choke cable and the plugs and seeing how it goes. probably wont get round to doing it till sunday.
ohhh i see perhaps try giving at an oil change too, or maybe a fuel line needs cleaning out or the tank draining, but good luck with it
fuel tap? what its leaking when the engine isnt on? or is it allowing more in ? anyhow its all back together i done the oil .. and the coolant.. but now the problems are the water hoses one is leaking and the 2 drain bolts at the front of the cylinders are leaking to.. lol, i should of replaced them but heyy! so i have to now no choice lol.
i had a problem with the fueling on the vfr, they use a shit diaphram design on the fuel tap where it takes a vacuum from the inlet/carbs to the fuel tap so it only opens when the engine is running. sometimes it can fuck up and totally block the fuel tap not allowing any fuel through or a little at a time only being able to ride a short distance before running out i bought a spare which was also crap so made one up out of the 2 i had, crap design and i would change it if i could i think i ended up taking the diaphram out for a while whilst i came up with an idea to sort it out although the tap did leak a bit and could smell petrol around the bike when sat for a while lol best thing to do helen would be to take the tap off and have a look at it, i might still have a tap here im not too sure but your welcome to come take it if i can find it! cheers Nick
lmao no ive never had it switched off .. i had it on reserve a few times before i understood that it has to be on the ON postion for me not to run out of fuel lol. ill check it out when i get the bike runnign nick, when i get on it that willtellme if its still doing it. just trying to find 2 new cylinder drain bolts + washers and im good to go. also on ebay there is an aftermarket "chinese" RVF fairing set advertised.. itd be £290 altogether... what do people think of these fairings ?? (mine are all craked and welded very badly by the perivious owners) so im watchign them, they look a good quality ...??? any ideas
ask carrie she bought some and tbh i think she wasnt happy with the fit at all, i would reccomend buying some second hand and maybe getting sprayed by a profesional
hmm i think ill leave it for now i mean i still got 2 years before my restriction lifts and i could still bin while i have it, so i may get them when i come to sell it probably best.
