[adamkilledeve]

IM SO FUCKING FUCKED OFF AT THE MOMENT I COULD BLOODY SCREAM :mad:
IV JUST SPENT THE LAST 3 HOURS TRYING TO FIGER OUT WHY THE FUCK PETROL HAS PISSED OUTTA MY BIKE AND RUINED MY FUCKING AIRFILTER!!!!!!!
TERNS OUT IT WAS SOME STUPIB BLOODY TUBE THATS SPILT AN NOW IM FUCKING STUCK UNTILL BLOODY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

NOW IM GONNA BE STUCK AT HOME TWIDDALING MY THUMPS WITH FUCK ALL TO DO :mad:



sorry for angry rant guys :(

[GreatBritishRob]

Why you stuck at home? Just because of the pipe?

[adamkilledeve]

the air filter caught fire, (which was brand new) so have to order a new one and dont no where i can get another pipe from, gonna have to trail the bike shops tomorrow i reckon, i'll be gutted if i cant make the sib rally :(

[shaggy696969]

change the pipe, run without the filter,, simple really.

[adamkilledeve]

wouldent it run like crap though?

[GreatBritishRob]

I assume by the petrol pipe you mean the one from the petrol tap to the carb's? If its that most care spares places well stock it to. Air filter, well i dunno what bike it is so cant say where you may get one of them.

[shaggy696969]

NO , not nessacarily, as yoru keepin the air box its just the filters out of it for a lil while till you can get a new one. What bike is it?

[adamkilledeve]

its a kawasaki zepher 750, whatever i no bout bikes iv taught myself so in the dark most of the time, and iv had to get most of the parts direct from kawasaki coz ebay hasent come up with much, i was so happy when i got it started for the first time coz iv worked my ass of makeing it work

[adamkilledeve]

yeah it was the petrol tube, just hope that it hasent got anywhere else

[GreatBritishRob]

Well im assuming still that you mean the pipe from the tap to the carb's. Any bike or car spares place well sell that cut to length. The filter, well as shaggy says, run it without. At worst you'll get a little extra noise from the air box and a bit of popping on the over run. No worries :D

[adamkilledeve]

oh good, thats carmed me down abit, will try an get the that then as see what happens, its been such a **** to fix up, iv only just put the new exhasts on it an it was all fine untill i toke it for a quick spin.

hopefully still see you guys this weekend then :D

[shaggy696969]

How did the petrol pipe lead to fuel in the airbox, ?

[GreatBritishRob]

How did the petrol pipe lead to fuel in the airbox, ?
Not the over fill is it? :eek: :D

[adamkilledeve]

when it happend it all gushed out then coverd the airbox, then when my bro helped me get it back to mine i took the tank off and then took the airbox out which some how was full of petrol an he accidently set fire to it with his fag :( i was non to pleased as you can imiagin

msnt laugh, no really, musnt :rolleyes:

[shaggy696969]

Overflow pipes normally exit down by the centre stand mounts, Im wondering why the carbs would overflow, If its while the bike is standing. not running then maybe the diaphram on the back of fuel tap has split allowing fuel to flow at all times, assuming of course its a vacuum fed carbs, most modern'ish bikes are, but it makes me think that he has a sticking float bowl, possibly on the number 1 carb, as its first inline from fuel tap, and also lowest while parked on side stand, and this has back fed the airfilter, as the carb body on no1 is lower than the overflow's on all the carbs so giving chance of backffed presure, or i could be talking bollox of course.

[adamkilledeve]

Not the over fill is it? :eek: :D


dont no, gonna end up spending half the day on my hands an knees i think sorting it out, wish my mates lived closer to me coz thay could help.pritty much on me own down hear so i do what i can. the manual has become a constant compaion.

just hope that i dont have to pull out the crappy 125 to get to work on monday :)

he is a she babe :p an my bike is a 91 so not sure how everything is done on it. but what you seid makes alot of sense, how will i no if the tap is spilt, would i be able to see it or is it going to be another hidden wonder?

[shaggy696969]

Well try this, on the no 1 carb, ie the one nearest the fuel tap, look underneath and somwhere there will be a drain screw , big looking buggers nomally on underside of float bowl, put a funnel under it to a pot and undo the screw with the petrol tap turned to prime, at same time as flowing petrol running through the funnel, twat the carb bowl side with a small hammer, to dislodge any dirt, keep watching the petrol in pot to see if any siht comes out, then repeat through the others. That normally clears most blockages. Ohh yea dont do it with any fuka smoking around you. !!! :eek: :D :D

[adamkilledeve]

dont worry i wont lol, that sounds like a good idea, will give it a go in the morning, is there anyway of fixing it if its cracked, i mean would i hav to get a new one or is there something i can do in the mean time? :)

[Grav]

Probably No.2 carb float sticking as No. 2 carb gets fuel first on the kwak 750's. Give all the float bowls a good clean and I would not run it without an airfilter as it will cause the bike to run very lean.

I have a manual here if you need one, I can post it to you in the morning.

For any parts you need, give Z Power a call and tell them Grav sent you. ;)

www.z-power.co.uk

[shaggy696969]

NOt really sure if you have vavuum fed carbs, I think it would be, if the tap has just a prime on and reserve, then its most prob vacuum, if its a gravity feed, it will just have on of and reserve positions, not always but good rule of thumb. Try disconnecting all the pipes from the tank, ie big and little pipes, and turn the tap to on, if the petrol flows maybe diafram has split.


Ohh yea for the confused

Rule of thumb comes from dickensien times, where a man was allowed by law to beat an insulant wife wiath a Birch branch no thicker than his thumb, hence rule of thumb, which also made men with small hands good husbands :D

[adamkilledeve]

aww thanx grav, a manual would come in really handy, mine is coverd in gresse an oil. how much do you want for it?

will deffo look in to z power :)

[Grav]

750 Zephyr has a standard kwak 750 vacuum tap. The tap repair kit is only around a tenner and consists of a diaphragm and tap seal.

Grav

I had a zephyr you know........ ;)

[XJphil]

you can get petrol pipe from all car spares places, make sure you take your old one with you to get right diamiter
but i dout if thats the problem
sounds more like overfloweing carbs, gravs right (hate to say that :D )
you really need to remove carbs and take of each flowt bowl and clean out the inlet jets (under the flowts)
easyist way to check diaphrams is to hold carbs up to your gob and blow into he elongaited hole in the top of the carb where the air rubbers fit and see if the diaphrames lift ok, also put you thumb over the hole when you push the piston up and if the diapham is ok the piston will not come back down, but if the diaphramn is buggered the bike will not pull very well, but it sounds like a stuck inlet jet to me, so i strongly serjest a good clean out
i`ve had a good few beers so please forgive the spelling but not grav :eek:

Just remember to blow and not suck..........

[Grav]

gravs right (hate to say that :D )

Anyone who has met me or Phil will appreciate how difficult that was for him to say.

Snigger...... :D

[devon-tony]

aye check out the pipes and give the carbs a good clean out if you get the chance, if your really worried about running with no filter then just put a couple of layers of pairs of tights over the intake of the airbox, will ensure no small children or animals at least get through :)

unless of course you use huge fishnet tights and the animals or children are from the borrower family, then ya buggered LOL

& FFS

KEEP YOUR MATE WHO WORKS NEAR BIKES WITH A PETROL LEAK & THINKS ITS OK TO SMOKE AT THE SAME TIME AWAY FROM YOUR BIKES

and you

and your house ;) :rolleyes:


dangerous bloke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wonder if you could butcher an airfilter to do, if you could getone cheap enough

[clanger]

You don't need biker mates...get yourself down the local bike workshop and use your bestest girlie charm...they will be marginally impressed that you know what you need...and will be able to come up with the goods or 'will do items' and might even offer to fit them for you... :D

[Maggie B]

or try

A new one is only a tenner.

[adamkilledeve]

so i got up at 7 this morning an have been working on the bloody thing since then, started with the carbs first an did what i was told an all this black oily grit stuff started to drip outta them so i reckon thay are really dirty, thing is its now nearly 12 an the black yucky stuff still hasent come out yet, got the first to clean but gonna have to keep trying. bit worryed about it though becouse befor i started it up it had been standing for nearly a year :(

[kitkatman]

Well it aint that bad as the bike started, i would clean out as good as i can and then reasemble and give em a good blast with carb cleaner, it stalls the motor abit, but it cleans out the sh1t, if you have still got the petrol from last year in it, then drain that, set the cat alight with it and replace with fresh, as for the air filter, some nce frilly G-STRINGs should sort that out, but if they aint clean, you might get a smell of fish....lol

[adamkilledeve]

lol i can just imagin what it would be like with my knickers flies out the back of my bike, luckly thay aint big enough to take flight lol i changed the petrol befor i started it, there might have been some **** in the take though, might go an get some of that engine cleaner stuff to, think its called redex???

[kitkatman]

Taht could be a idea, make sure its for carbs and not injectors though.......
If had my skiddies hanging from the back of my bike itll be like a wind sock....lol

[adamkilledeve]

now that would be something to see!!!! anyways i ended up being called in to work in an emergancy so had to leave the bike in bits, gonna start back on it tomorrow.

but had a scary afternoon though, on my way in to work i had to grudgenly take the 125 out to get there, so there i was havein a blast thashing the hell outta this thing round corners and the next thing i no the bloody throttle grip plus wires and whatever else attaced to it has come of the handle bar and is falling apart in my hand!!! scared the crap outta me :eek: ended up being late for work but got there holding the hole thing together useing duck tape! made my mind up to get rid of the 125 for good so if anyone knows some one that whats a 125 my old ones for sale
