Remove fuel line (tips)

[TheSmiler]

Just wondering if any one has got any tips or method to get the fuel line away from the petcock. Trying to remove the carbs this is one main hurdle trying to get over.

Yes the petcock is set to off, there are no clips holding it in place, would pliers be a bad way of getting it off

They weld themselves on. I use a pair of pliers with a serated circular gap to grip the rubber pipe gently and this lets me twist the pipe in both directions to break the seal. Then I pull like mad.

I use a blade screwdriver to prise the pipe away from its seated position.Just insert and twist.

If there's no clips on then either of the above will work. if you can't get it off doing either of the above then you need a dose of MTFU and give it more of a tug...

Going try again today to remove the fuel line, otherwise end up cutting it off and putting a new one on which would be a lot simpler.
Managed get it of using a method that Teflon Mike told me using hot water and my own idea of a pastry brush around the end which got it lose. Just as the heavens opened


However new question save a new thread

Is it normal for individual spark plugs to show different readings when on full choke. With not being able to run normal at the moment tested the spark plugs and they came out different one showing over rich fuel/air and the other showing malfunctioning ignition system.

Know what is causing both of them but is just thought it was weird the plugs are showing different results

For clarity, LHS is the side stand side, JUST in case you are looking from the front of the bike!

Makes perfect sense.

LHSparker is clogged because that one is running 'ritch' on choke.
RHSparker is clear because its firing 'lean' on start up, the choke not closing all the way.

I take it you are at the choke sync stage.

DONT worry too much about the RH Choke flap being a tad 'open' when the choke full on.

The flaps are notched to clear the airway boss and they don't always close fully, catching on that notch.

You only use choke on start up; and you should only be using 'full' choke birefly, if at all, and then only on very cold starts.

The 'important' bit is to make sure that the RH choke flap is fully open, when teh choke is 'off' and that it's not 'wobbling' any on the flex link flat.
