|
|
Just bought a R1 off the ebay as a non runner , no problem there .
the only problem is it will run fine from cold but cuts out as soon as it gets warm , its a 2000 5jj with carbs so my first job was to look at the carbs and fule pump , but i was wondering if it has any fuel management system that i need to look at .
I bought it for a trac bike but if i cant sort it i will break it as all the bodywork is good .
and save the R1 jokes Pompy _________________ so many toys so little time |

Simplest explanation is a stuck choke. Most complicated is someone has messed with the jetting. Has the bike had any noticeable work done (no air box, marks on carb screws?) I belive that bike has a diagnostics system that can be plugged in to see what's going on.
Check for split carb mounts and other air leaks.
Cheers,
Carl

I got the bike home last night the guy did start it for me to hear the engine and it was fine , and i started it again when i got home to ride it down to my workshop and thats when it died .
i will get the tank off to day and have a look but the choke sounds very promising _________________ so many toys so little time |

If it ends up being an on going problem you should ring one of my best mates down in Exeter. His name is Bud and has been a BSB mechanic for years. Runs his own shop out of a barn in Dunchidiock above Ide... His number is 07791160291. Tell him I ( Pompey ) gave you his number and he will sort you out either over the phone or take it to him. Good luck. _________________ Pomps

Thanks for that pompey, it may or may not come to that. I'm regulary going near Exeter as we do a lot of surfing around wolacombe bay area. I'll try re-jetting it first and if that's not anywhere near, I'll give your buddy a bell |
