Ok at work, had a few minutes this morning to tear into the bike. Going to be back at it tonight.
Short story. I am selling my firends 1991 Tw200. Its been stored at my place, and between some family illness and an engagement, both on his side, he will not have time to ride any longer.
It had only been ridden 1-2 times last year. I rebuilt the carb spring 2011. I went to start and its getting spark. I figured it was getting fuel, but when I opened the drain screw only a little fuel came out.
If I turn the petcock on and open the drain screw no more gas comes out.. When I remove the inlet hose from the carb, gas runs out of the hose, when the petcock is on. So I presume its a downstream problem on the carb.
I believe I should drop the bottom off the carb again and check it out, but what could have caused this, especially with the recent rebuild on the carb?
Any ideas given will help me get to it tonight. I want to make sure it runs correctly, and starts ok before listing it for sale.
I did remove the drain screw and tap on the side of the carb this morning, as that is how I got it to work before the rebuild... this time it didnt seem to allow any additional flow.
Thanks.
