[shoey50]

[sik-pj]

mate give me are call it is the fuel tap i think i should be is it faceing down? like i left it on the reserve?

 

[crazzy#29]

it sounds like it ran out of petrol. so put the tap on reserve

 

[shoey50]

it has a pic of what looks like a full tank up top the to the left a little dot the a half tank at the bottom i think i was riding this think for hours and it still has half a tank

check the two 10mm bolts on your header pipe, could be loose, or the ring gasket could be flogged out, $3 replacement if thats the issue.

 

[shoey50]

could it be the cdi?

 

[cranga]

does it backfire when you back off? Is it intermitant?

 

[shoey50]

it was backfiring when i backed of the day before all this happened yes

 

[crazzy#29]

now I'm confused...who really sold him the bike? Are you two brothers or something?

Also, I wonder which AGB promoting new member is 'lusive' masquerading as...his poor grammar and spelling will give him away.

 

[sik-pj]

Haha, yeah.. Keep an eye on it mods!

Great seller thats for sure... "The fuel on doesn't work but i won't tell my own brother"... I think that should be covered under parts warranty he obviously knew it was broken before he sold it.

 

[sik-pj]

wtf going on? thats how i got the bike brand new and atomik said that u have to leave it on reserve and thats how it will run. when he picked it up i forgot to tell him but im sending him one out anyway. so wtf

 

[shoey50]

its ok guys they are both brothers it was pj's bro's bike but but pj sold it for him to me its all good no confusion turns out the prob was just loose wiring (which can happen) and the fuel tap is fine

I was going to suggest valve clearances may be tight on the outlet side,
but you sorted it well done!
