AllTorque Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Maybe the vacuum line to the gauge is collapsing and closing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Oh my god its like I was there. Bit yeah. That other carb must be pissed up somewhere. Wonder if the float isn't doing its thing. Anyway. Yes. Do birn outs. No excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yeh I pulled it apart, nothing obvious but just generally in somewhat crappy condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Change your spark plugs. (Sorry if I've already posted that before) It's quite likely you drowned the plugs when monkeying around with the bike carbs. Modern fuels fuck plugs if they get too fouled up. I had a brand new set of plugs once that had been fuel fouled. Despite being clean enough to eat off, it ran like a bag of hairy arseholes. NEw plugs fixed it. Also, is you're mech advance working like it should? I've seen an A12 (Leppas) which ran super fucking shit when the dizzy was all fucked up with seized mech advance. BTW, you MUST have this thing sorted for Hanmer. Failure is not an option........... I'm looking forward to smashing some bluetops/dot4 with my damn building buddy!

Beaver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Sweet will give plugs a whirl. Dizzy is all good, have tried another one (which was from the a12 which ran like a sewing machine) and no change. Wont be done for hanmer but ill be there dont worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheFox Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ive got a complete a15 minus the dizzy sitting in the garage for a future project. If you want your welcome to try the carb out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Mate that would be grand. Im pretty confident its not the carb (I have tried a couple in various states) but none the less would be keen to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Has the carb been apart? If the lid for the bowl is warped, or the gasket aint right they also run like shit. Also a long period of sitting still can cause the fuel to varnish up in the bowl, and fuck up the jets etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 yep Ive had it apart. Its not the prettiest but appeared clean throughout. Will try the one from Nick and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheFox Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Sweet as. I am unsure of its condition as I got the motor out of a vanette at pickapart. Â Its still all together so ive got to take it of the head, pretty sure its h89 oval port. I wont be able to get it off till thursday though as ive got an exam on wednesday afternoon. Ill send you a message when I get it off and have a better look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 All good man, Im happy to come check it out/take it off. Would be keen to try the manifold as well (just to rule out another part). No rush, just when you have the time. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 where did you get the manifold for the bike carbs from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Brought it off some joker when I got the carbs, its just a home made jobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheFox Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hey just got the carb and the mainfold off together. Its the first time ive looked at it and this one has got water jackets through the manifold which i dont think is to common, although ive never played with a series motors before. Heres a few pics of it just let me know if it will be of any use to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Mother of god. Thats some funky ass shit going on there! Looks like a crazy vacuum system/emissions control bullshit. Water jackets in the manifold is normal for the a15 (a12s dont have them) but yeh, my a15 carb setup is a lot simpler than that. I suspect what you have is from quite a late model van. Hope you didnt have to go through much effort to take it off but I don't think it will be worth my time to try it out (would have to piss around with all the vacuum lines etc). Really appreciate the effort though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheFox Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No worries, I didnt think it was typical to have all those vacuum hoses and emission shit on it. Its got more vacuum hoses than my 4age! Â Yeah it was from a van, must have had a really hard accelerator to move all the mechanisms and levers for it, I can bearly open the throttle by hand. Im going to slowly take it apart as I think that I can remove a piece from between the carb and the manifold which all the vacuum hoses connect up to, then it should be much simpler. Â Its was no issue at all as im stripping the motor so I can rebuild it in the future, it came off easily as half the bolts were barely tight. I cant say the same about the crank pully bolt, I had to bust my ass on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
