my broken down sv650

[matt]

hi folks, i need a little help, my sv won't start, this is the sequence of event that preceeds it, right, i fitted t a scottoiler, went out for a burn and the applicator and pipe came away from the swing arm, fortunatly this was by a petrol station, so i bought some insulation tape and stuck it back on, whilst in the process of sticking it back on i pulled the flow pipe off the bottom of the rmv allowing air in, i had only gone a few meters with the pipe hanging off, after this happened the bike was a real pig to start turning over but not firing, eventually it started, i rode it the 30 miles home no trouble, once home i left it for a bit, cleaned up myself abit and had a smoke, went out to put it in the garage same thing again, it would not fire up, but eventually it started, turned it off in the garden, and started again after leaving it for a couple of mins, and it started fine, fixed my scottoiler and cleaned her up, tried to start her and it hasn't started since, still turning over fine but not firing, yet whilst it was still warm it started fine. do you think the scottoiler has anything to do with it or just coincidence? any help will be greatly appreciated as i'm stuck. thanks

Make sure the vacuume pipe you attached the oiler to on your carbs aint come off.

sounds to me like the vacuum feed for the scottoiler has come off and its leaning the mixture out, so it will run on the lean mix when its warm, but won't start on it. Trace the scottoiler tubes back and check they havn't come off the carb rubbers, and that the carb rubbers don't have any holes in where plugs may have come out.

i have checked this, all seems to be ok, once i could get the bike started it was fine, it run as smooth as ever, it's just getting it to go thats the problem

[matt]

also when i do turn it over, i'm getting a really strong petrol smell, but i'm tring opening the throttle choke etc

[Robby]

nice work on the triple post.

sounds like you don't have the scottoiler tube in then, but check your fuel lines are connected while your at it.

Is it firing on one cylinder but not the other? Coughing and spluttering like, but not picking up and going.

[matt]

dunno what happened with the tripple post, all when pear shaped
lol, it's doesn't seem to be firing on any cylinder?

Hi

I would suspect you have a serious air leak somewhere. Also I presume that the SV has a vacuum operated fuel tap and it could well be that you have disturbed / left this disconnected while fitting the Scott oiler.

All the best

right folks listen to this, the non starting events all happened yesterday, i went out earlier to give her a try, and she started first time, i have since started her another 3 times hassle free, any ideas?

thats what i thought, so i left it an hour or so, then turned it over without touching the throttle or choke, but still no firing, was this enougth time to leave it to clear?
