|

hi to you all new member wondered if anyone could help with this problem my bike was fine when i put it away when i went to start it today it wont run without the choke on and even then it runs badly stripped and cleaned the carbs just the same checked the cables all ok when it stops running you can hear the coolent gurgleing even when the engines cold this seems odd as the coolent is correct level and type any advice would be greatly apreciated |

When I bought my vdue it would not run without the choke, stripped the carbs a few times before I found one of the idle bleed holes had a lump of snot in it, ran fine after that. How well have you cleaned carbs ?
How many miles has vdue , was it just started and run before or did it get used ? Coolant it a bit of a bitch to bleed, is it getting warm or is there a blockage ? |

Evidently its a carb conversion Vdue, and not the injected, do you always turn off the 2 stroke oil tank each time you park her up for any period? Always recomended as oil keeps dripping and this wont help the carbs if fullof 2 stroke and would part explain why only a rich fuel mix with choke on would help it to run...
Gurgling fluids sounds like an air blocakge, but again wouldnt stop it from running.
Plug change always a good idea if you've left the oil tank stop cock on "on"....fouled plugs aint going to help. Check also the 2 into 2 throttle cable...as one of the ends can "jump out" and thus not be feeding one of the carbs...
Normally I only use the choke to just get it fired and running without intermittent throttle response and then it gets switched straight off before setting off...and I dont generally run it on idel unless I'm ri=ding it as this can easily foul the plugs also...many questions, like how long you had the bike, has the Oil pump setting been correctly wound back as standard setting from factory is way off...is it still being run in?? etc etc |

Hi.
Pictures are a bit hard, 2 options, load to photo bucket or such like, then get the URL off their site, hit the Img button on thread , paste URL in, hit the image button again.
OR
Compress using MS picture manager, hit upload image on forum header, upload compressed pic, copy link, go to thread hit Img button in thread window, paste link , hit Img* button again. Will look something like this

Vdue EF10 - jolly moto , 125bhp model, had it about 18mths.

I bought mine with the Jolly's , only pipes to have IMHO , just make the bike look the dogs nuts.
If you send a pick via PM I will load for you.
You have any other Bimota's or just the vdue.
Vdue's either seem to be Bimota nuts or 2 stroke nuts, only ones that seem to cross over. |

Hi Stu
Just noticed your wheels, did they come with the Due or did you source them? |
