Hi everyone
I've just completed the MCCT conversion following cybercarl 's instructions. I have run into a Problem when starting the bike, it appears that no fuel is getting to the carbs. I have checked for kinks in fuel lines, breather hoses and even turned on the fuel tank petcock.
Chances are I'm missing something obvious, can anyone help me.?
Yes, there is 2 breather pipes that I can see, one big and one small diameter. The smaller diameter hose was not connected in the first place as no pipe was fitted, but the bigger one has been reconnected. The bike was working fine before the strip down, it's baffled me
That the breather and overflow pipes your talking about. PLVR is the small diameter vacuum pipe that sits directly behind the fuel tap on the petcock and draws fuel into the carbs.
You will find on the left hand side of the bike down by the inside of the frame somewhere. Or trace it from the rear cylinder head near the rear carb inlet rubber.
This is embarrassing, thanks very much Carl
Just had her on tick over, no rattling at all from cam chains, but a bit spluttery when revving so may need carbs balancing/setting up?
A carb balance is a good idea. Also double check you have seated the carbs back in the inlet rubbers properly and they are done up nice and tight.
You not the first to have forgotten the vacuumhose or even put it back in the wrong place. There's so many I cant even give you a number, it must be thousands.
