new carby needed..

i told you they are poo

 

[motoluver]

Well that is normal if the motor is cold...

 

[Matty]

have you washed it recently?
if you have you could have water in your carby. mine did that at one stage, it will start with the choke in but with it off and idleing the petrol will go through but if you open the throttle then the water and fuel will mix around and cause it to die.

hope that made sense. basically, what i would try is make sure your fuel tap is turned off and drain the carby and then try starting it again.

regards,
matt

no worries man, always check the small things before you go buying new carbys and all.

the first time i got water in it this guy told me to tip the bike upside down and the water will come out...? WTF? Lol.

we found the screw and just drained it the easy way lol.

 

[Trashthumpy]

lol tip the bike upside down....what a noob

 

[bilko71]

wtf is dipping the bike upside down going to do

 

[Matty]

i have no idea lol. apparently it would come out the exaust or something, cos he said that someone shoved a hose up the pipe and got water and **** all in it...and he rekons that you can just tip it and the water will run back out. and my problem wasn't even having water in the pipe so yea...

oh yeh the good old tip ur bike upside down trick?? WTF? lol noob indeed...hav fun with ur bike sikspac

The upside down trick is legitimate but not for this situation.
If you on a trail and sink your bike underwater, in a creek or something, you can remove the fuel tank, remove the spark plug, tip the bike upside down and kick it over to get the water out of the engine.
