Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
Now my bike won’t start. I rode it all day today no problem, I thought I ran out of gas turned on my reserve and still nothing right in the middle of traffic. Wouldn’t start, I pushed it to the gas station filled it up, no problem right. Wrong still would not start had to get my wife to bring the carrier brought it home. Sounds like it wants to start but will not. I went and got a new spark plug from oreilley still nothing. I am getting spark so what else can it be? Please help |

So I sprayed starting fluid down the carb and she started up for a sec. so I’m guessing I need a new carb but I don’t have the money now to get a new one. What can I do to this carb to fix and why would it not be getting fuel like it should through the carb

Is there fuel in the float bowl? If not look higher. Pop the fuel hose off the carb and turn the gas on, got flow? No? Open the gas cap and check again. I've seen tanks not vent and fuel will not flow. If yes, then take the carb off and go into it and find out why the engine isn't getting any fuel. If she has spark and will run on starting fluid, its a fuel problem

Yes there is fuel in the float bowl. I just got a can of carb cleaner so I’m gonna take it apart and clean, blow everything with air compressor. Hopefully that’ll work. Ill let y’all know how it goes. Fingers crossed that’s all it is, I really don’t want to bust out the voltmeter.

SOLVED!! What a great feeling when it’s a simple fix. So I took apart my carb to clean and my needle just fell right out. I guess the two washers i put on it to shim it up (or down) are a little to big and they knocked the retaining clip out, therefore making my needle completely loose. Reshimmed and started her up nothing oh yeah turned the fuel Petcock back on vroooom. What a relief hawks ksounding good especially with that new spark plug I didn’t need.

Glad to see it was a real simple fix. Not sure what size washer you are using, but a trip to the local ace hardware can get you some smaller 3mm washers, which should be about right. If not, you can buy actual needle shims.

Dan, we need a sticky with all these helpful links you and others post. One stop shopping so to speak. Or do we already have one?

I am attempting to put something together, but I dont have the power to sticky, nor the time to continuously work on it. The other issue is that even if it existed, how many people would actually use it?

Well I will use it, and I'm sure a one stop for all the links to parts we need and fit would be a hit! Others could post to it too. Or if not links, manufacturers of parts and part numbers that are verified to fit. Again, I appreciate all the effort guys put in to help others.

That's quite true. Quite a lot of stuff has appeared in Hawk Talk over the last couple of years, apparantly un-read by new members who have recently bought a China Bike. That information was put in there, aside from a little sniping at the columnist, to help the new rider along. From my experience of reading new questions from new owners, it would appear that doing research before making the leap into ownership is no longer taught in our schools....ARH
