Possible Air leak help

Post by wotisgoingon »

Hey people me again

Got my Storm back together after sorting CCT's etc

I got her fired up and she was on the button first time but when i took her out for a spin she was struggling to get revs at top end
Ive given her a complete service so i know its not that .

I had a similar problem on my old Rd350ypvs years ago that had water in the tank and it run like a dog for weeks before it cleared

i did however notice a breather vent on the injectors was cracked (could this be the problem ?)

Im guessing its one of these things

1:Breather tube damaged/incorrectly fitted
2:Water in the carbs/tank
3:breather on injectors

I followed the instructions very well for the refit of the breather tubes etc last time i had her back together

This is the last thing i need to sort out before i sell her as ive got my new bike now 8o)

Have you had the tank off :?: if so did you put the vacuum pipe back onto the correct fuel tap outlet at the back of the tap (nearest to the battery). It should be ( using a clock face for discription) in the 9 o'clock position and not the 6 o'clock :!:

Glad too hear you've fixed it :thumbup: So was it the vacuum pipe in the wrong position after all :?:
