Post by: chirrin on November 24, 2008, 02:12:29 PM
hey guys i wanna thank u for all the info that u guys gave me to find the problem of my motorcycle and i finally fix it, but! a wanna tell u my experience so u guys don't go trough that.

i already explain my problem with the bike in an other adds (fuel problem) and .

first i tear down the whole carburetor system and put it back on with new gasket n everythin cost(80 dll plus my time).

then i opened the fuel pump and checked and clean it cost: ( a headache) the pump was good.

then i replace all the vents and vaccum hoses cost: (scratches on my hand plus 20dll for air filter).

then took off spark plugs and belt covers to check timing and spark everything perfect.

then i took the fuel tank off to check filters an houses cost: (10dll plus 60dll of paintin material cause the clear coat was acrylic and gas fell on it and ruin it plus i accidentally drooped the tank and dent it so i had to put bond and reshape it plus a huge scream to the sky jajajajajaj i was so frustrated).

OK then everything were put back on and i turn on the engine and everything was perfect, i was happy.

then took it out for a ride and after 100 feet turn off( i almost cry ).

pushed the bike back home and i storage it. then i sat down lookin at it and wondering what possibly could be wrong? and paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam i saw the god demn fuel tank hose bended (u know when u lift the tank and then goes down the hose kind of bend i lil)but nooo that lil bastard liked to bend all the way! caaaan uuuu believe it. that was the problem. took a shorter hose plugged it in and hualaaa!

but i learned a lot im proud of myself i did it with ur help and just wanted to thank u!

i got a lots of questions to ask still jejejjejeje my mom call me pregunton! since i was a little jajajja that means in spanish "asker"thanks!!! [bow_down]

Great story!  It feels good to fix things yourself!

Usually, the only things I ever fix are those that I make the beast with two backsed up in the first place.  :P
