Can anyone help? It starts on 3 then immediately cuts out?

I am wanting a wider rear wheel. Can I do this just by changing the wheel if so, what wheel? Or do I have to change the swing Arm? If so, what swing arm?

Have a look here:-

If you're sticking a smaller, wider wheel on the back, don't forget to match the front and look out for the chain fouling the tyre.

Cheers for that I was wanting something like a 180 / 190 width.

I want to change the swing arm to something nicer?

Google "Rear wheel conversions GSX1100F Katana", it's always easier to go with something that's been done before, a lot of popular 18" wheeled bikes have a common conversion, not just to look better, but to be able to fit more modern tyres.

Did you fix the first problem 8 mins after posting and just move on to something else?

No I've bought it as a street fighter but it's rough and I just want to clean it right up as a project to work on with my father and son. Have you any ideas you'd like to share?

You say it starts on three and then cuts, let us first look at the cylinder that does not fire. Could be plug, lead, coil, carb (I think this is a carbed bike) or compression. All easy if time consuming to sort. Then there are the three that cut, this will be a comon fault so we can dismiss plug, lead, coil or compression this leaves us with carbs. My best bet is fuel pump or a blocked vent.

I'll be testing and tinkering this weekend as I've never even had time to test anything yet, I've only had it since Sunda but, I'll be posting my findings.

Cheers for your help and advice and keep posting any thoughts and ideas for our project... Much appreciated
