Gday guys,
My Evo is giving me the shits. Had trouble starting it. I've put in a new battery, and threw some new spark plugs in yesterday. It's trying to start, but can't get it over the line. I have spark. It sounds a bit "gurgley", fires once and the pipes kick in, then just stops. It's sounds a bit gurgley and I get the odd tiny puff of smoke out of the carb. I've got a new s&s e type on it. I've not ridden it in 2 years as I combined a bit of travel and a license loss. I'm back on the road now, but the bike isn't playing the game. I know I have to get fluids etc changed after a long lay off, I just want the bloody thing to start in the meantime. A few days before my license fiasco, I had a full service and got new pipes and carb fitted. It's been playing up ever since.
I've got a feeling I left the petrol on at some stage, and perhaps I'm flooding it. If this is the case, do I need to pull something off to clean it or drain it? I'vegot the bike manual, and I can't see anything in there about this in the trouble shooting guide.
Very grateful for any help. It's frustrating the shit out of me.
Cheers.
Needle and seat? Unfamiliar with that..
when was the bike service , just last week only was she going ok then when you pick her up
Needle and seat gets my vote, new fuel would not go astray either
What mechanic and where...Just curious as thinking of getting a dyno tune done...
