Be forewarned though, they are brass and the heads can strip out easily. There's a screw in the side of each fuel bowl cover. Catches gas and works great to keep parts from getting away from you. When working on the carb rack, I set it in a cheap foil baking sheet from the grocery store. Discharge should be at a rate of like 600cc's minute or something on that order.īy spark I mean is there a strong spark at the plug (seen when removed from the head and with the treaded body grounded hard against a good engine ground surface, with the wire on it).If it fires up at all, even running for a few seconds, it IS sparking, but maybe with some weakness so that opening the throttle even a little drowns it out.Ĭheck the fuel pump, choke cable motion to make sure it's closing properly and try draining the float bowls in case some nastyness is in there.īasically, the engine requires 3 elements to sustain operation:Īll the other parts of the powerplant exist to sustain these 3 conditions.valve train, ignition units, piston rings, carbs etc. That may be the problem.Ĭheck for fuel flow by disconnecting the outlet line from the pump and turning on the key (with a container under the line). If it's malfunctioning the carbs may not be getting enuff fuel, then accumulating some just by siphon action after it sits. It's a black cylindrical thing shock-mounted to the frame. The V65 has an electrical fuel pump under the seat.
