Quick question does the lil CRB have a electric or manual fuel pump? The reason I ask this is because after doing some stuff to my old bike yesterday she wont start today, I believe fuel is not getting to the carburetor. So I want to look into it.

Thank You

I'd imagine it would be electrical/mechanical as if it was manual you would be forever pumping whilst you were riding.

If all the lines are connected correctly then try turning it over (with the choke on) a few times to draw fuel into the carb

isent it just a gravity feed? cant belive the might of the cbr engine needs much more

make sure ur carb is connected properly, if it isn't it isn't goin to draw fuel as the fuel system is vacuum operated

its a vacuum pump... if you get the hose that connects to the inlet manifold (not the carb) then suck it, fuel will go down the other line and into the carb, then open the overflow screw if fuel p**ses out you have fuel getting to the carb

 

[aaronmoh]

thank you for that,,, do u know what's the best way to get to this hose? before I start to remove all the panels.

 

[karloscinquentos]

just reach under frame and pull it off no panels need removing

 

[aaronmoh]

correct me if I am wrong, the tube with the fuel filter on it is not the one i am after, not the one to suck right?

 

[karloscinquentos]

your right, if you look on the silver dome thing on the bottom of the fuel tank, two pipes you want the one on the bottom

 

[aaronmoh]

thank you I will suck on it a bit on tuesday and let you know. Now which one is the overflow screw? duh....

thank you

 

[karloscinquentos]

little screw on the bottom of the carb near the overflow pipe
