@terry

i'll answer in couple minutes

Bike is almost done - description and photos are made but not posted yet - all free time I spend in garage.

There's a serious problem with carb. It's very hard to turn on the engine. There's a spark on spark plug, engine is clean and everything else besides carb is in good condition.

Fuel comes through carb and floods spark plug as long as fuel valve (valve? on bottom of tank) is turned on - impossible to turn on the engine. After long time of starting engine is starts run but only for a while. I noticed that fuel comes higher than carb main fuel valve. I set the valve thght as much as I could, but it didn't solve the problem. Choke is not guilty - there's too much fuel even for choke.

Did the carb give up?

Sounds like you have a gummed up carb. You might have to pull it and clean it out. You could try an additive such as Seafoam or something similar to clean it but by the sound of it you should clean it manually. Sounds like the needle isn't seating so it floods.

I left bike in my friend's garage. He works on motorcycles for many years and he knows stuff, so i hope he'll find a solution.

Nice! Tyres are Metzelers? I think they are like mine... How do you like them!

rynr · 05-04-2012, 12:52 PM

yes, Metzeller me 77 - better than Dunlops. Bought last year. My girlfriend has 2008 Dunlops and they have cracks (perforation) already after four years. I've got somewhere 1999 Dunlops and they look better than made in 2008. We'll see how will Metzellers look like after coulpe years.

Rynr, you have undoubtedly spent many hours of labor just cleaning. Few folks would have that much passion for a project and be willing to spend the time making things look as good as new.
Your 2 into 1 bike may inspire others to do the same thing in the future. :2tup: :2tup:
