First start up

<< < (3/6) > >>

Bryanj:
If its enough to spill out of the trough its enough, dont forget the starter is not spinning the engine at running speed and the faster the engine turns the more the pump works

Craizeehair:
Thank you chaps, I will put this back together today hopefully and crack on.

Craizeehair:
Well, that was a mixed bag. Everything back together and checked the cam chain tensioner, valve clearances and static timing.

The bike started really easily and I thought I had cracked this bike fettling malarkey. Only to find it is firing on the right side only, no heat to speak of all more left exhaust.

Also he bike was idling around 1800rpm and I couldn’t bring it down a lower.

Now to try and find out why!

Craizeehair:
I’ve ordered some bits and bobs to try and get the bike back up and running, I’ve just received two new air filters and one of them has very poor glue to the rubber, will this be a problem or is it cosmetic only at that end?

Laverda Dave:
Who did you buy that from? I would be sending it straight back, the engine will be sucking in unfiltered air and you'll probably have a job to get the bike to idle properly. When you buy new spares that is what you should recieve unless this was sold as a 'second'.
