my cbr won't start for some reason

ignition is perfect...ie im gettin gd spark

it's like not enough fuel gettin to the carb, BUT i checked the fuel pipes and both were secure in the tank diaphram, the right way round (the fuel pipe from the top of the diaphram goes into, near the bottom of the carb ie fuel to the bowel, and the bottom fuel pipe of the diaphram goes into the "front" of the carb closest to the engine, right?)

i also checked to see if the carb was on properly and it is such that i am getting "sucking" from one the uel pipes (closest to the engine)

the diaphram itself works

The bike starts and runs (on whatever fuel is in the carb) when i take the tank off, but as soon as i connect the tank back up it won't start...wierd?

i just don't know what else to do

Any and all help appreciated

[jas16]

Glad it's fixed mate.

I always carry some basic tools with me, good to have in emergencies...

They should be in a little vinyl pouch underneath your pillion seat.

Mine was second hand and didnt come with one unfortunately, is the tools ok or are they cheap kit?

 

[PTAStuart]

It's a fairly cheap kit but does the job.

i brought mine second hand and it didnt come with anything...i dont really care as it leaves enough space to put my chain lock in perfectly

 

[DJUnreal]

Hrmm... just enough space for your chain?

You must have a pretty chunky chain... I can fit my chain and it's lock, my separate disc lock, and my toolkit under the seat all at once!
