mobile aircooled mechanic.

[vesp]

Does anybody know of a mobile aircooled mechanic in the kent area, as i've not got a clue with starting the engine. I know it ran when it left the usa, and i've done the basic's but now im lost. :roll:

Cheers

hi vesp
have a stap on here first there are lots of people with lots of knoledge have ago yourself you might surprise yourself :shock: what have you done so far :?:

 

[vesp]

I have checked the basics, IE the plugs distributor cap, rotor arm, fule pump pressure, drained fuel tank/fresh fuel. It will start briefly when i pre-load the barrel of the carb with alittle fuel but then dies immediately. Im thinking there might be a blockage in the twin carbs i have? If you remove the fuel hose from the carb and 'blow' through the fuel inlet into the carb, should there be any resistence, IE can you blow through it?

Will it run if you give it some throttle, then die when you realease it? Mine turned out to be a blocked idle jet.

 

[vesp]

No, it seems to only run on the fuel i pre-load the carb barrel with then die straight away. Thats why im suspecting that the carb inlet may be blocked?

morning

1 ok you have drained the tank and all that was flowing fine so sounds like a deffo blockage of some sort

2take of the fuel line from the fuel pump and put it in a milk bottle of some sort turn it over should be lots of fuel pumping out if not could be caput pump or blokage from tank to pump

3Take of the the fuel line t junction and check again same as 2

4 check the fuel line to the carbs take of and follow 2

seems funny to me that both carbs would be blocked?

if one of the carbs was blocked and the other flowing it would still fire up from what i can recall
pull the throttle back on the carbs see if you can see or here any fuel going in{remove fiters}

you mite have allready done all of this but thought it mite help
