bad tickover on 500/4

<< < (2/2)

well, had a couple of evenings in garage, stripped the carbs all was clean, but found one of the adjusting screws for sycronising the carbs was unscrewed from its holder so much it didnt seat properly. I also found the lifting mechanism was just catching and holding the throttle open. Put the carbs back on tonite then realised i forgot to put the return spring back on! Bugger! Very difficult to replace with carbs on bike, tried with bits of wire etc but no luck yet.

It's  real pain when you something like that as you can try all ways to get over it but may have to face up doing the bigger job to get back on track.

I've got one bike that I can't, for the sake of trying, get a throttle cable onto it without removing the carbs....it's a right pain but fortunately very rare.

Be interesting to see if you've got it ok when it's going again.

Ended up taking carbs off again to put spring back on, getting good at it now! Tried to start it but another problem occured, my starter motor started spinning even when i turned the ignition off!! had to disconnect the battery. Replaced the solonoid and a bit of dodgy wiring and seems ok now, will try starting in the morning.
