Great stuff! Cheers lads

So the VTR is back together, and running YAY!! Just need to update the V5C, and its good to go. I noticed one thing though, after letting it idle for 10 mins ish and taking it for a quick spin around the block, the gases from the right exhaust can come out cold... The left hand side is normal. Any ...

Plugged the syringe and heard the fuel flowing to the carbs! After that it fired right up

Thanks a bunch mate

Right on! Cheers

Great stuff!! Charging up the battery now, so I'll give it a go tomorrow morning.

Any idea if the petcock is on or off on the photo above (3rd post)? I know I sound like a tool, but i couldn't see any marking on it indicating whether it is on or on off...

Pre 2001 16L tank is the one. Do you actually pull on the syringe as you're cranking up the bike?

Cool thats what i thought but wasn't too sure... So it makes sense there wasn't any fuel getting down to the carbs.

I think the petcock is on but it's quite confusing which is on and off... Would this be on?

Alright y'all, The new engine is fitted and I tried firing it today :D There doesn't seem to be any fuel reaching the carbs... I'm very unsure I've got the vacuum/breather/overflow right. Am I right to think the 2 hoses connected straight onto the tank are breather and overflow -- Both Running down ...

Any chance someone could drop a line to bazza and see if he has any manual cct's I could get my hands on?

That's good to know!

hello :wave: Sorry for delay, been working on mine all day up in the garage. Well done for choosing to do it yourself, as you say it's marginal whether it's worth it getting a workshop to do the work. Frankly, in my opinion, anything costing more than £500 is a reason to break it and start again, ...

ok so I'm starting to think that doing a swap is the wisest option. I will then strip the old engine and sell the working bits.

Is there anyone here with experience on removing/fitting the engine? Will I need any specific tools for the job? I tried googling it without luck.

Hello y’all! So here’s the deal. Bought a 2000 firestorm just over a year ago, and about 6 months later it let me down. Engine shut down at a red light with a very bad noise in the engine. Took it to the mechanics, verdict was CCT failure, snapped/bent valves, hole in the front piston… ): According t ...
