ever since i got my 750 f1 running i have had nightmare carb problems.
leaks from dodgy float valves, fuel starvation problems & the bike had no power after 1/4-1/3 throttle.
i fitted another set of carbs but had no joy. bought an ultrasonic cleaning tank, stripped carbs down & re-fitted. still useless.
bought another set of carbs & did the same to them (my 3rd set !)
fitted them yesterday & at the same time i also fitted the rubber pipe from top of airbox to that emmision cannister thingy which hides under the battery box) as it was missing.
fired her up & i have a new bike ! pulls great & smoothly now.
do you reckon it was this missing pipe causing me months of stress all along ?
