had bike back running wonderfull then bang fart take off from standstill errr should i go or not oooo lets go bang this everytime from standstill got back home,looking and feeling back home found crack in rubber to airbox.Right you baskit off with airbox,looked at changing main jet nope already 135 on with cone type pod filter,awwww still get bang fart from cold carbs shake then splutter & stop now what ideas on a fag packet please.
Cracked/leaking carb inlet rubbers? Get the engine running and spray the rubbers with 'Easystart' or similar (some would advocate the use of WD40). If the revs pick up then you have perished rubbers. Which bike is it? Not that it really matters ... if it's on carbs then they are all similar.
had new rubbbers 6-8 month ago they had perrished then also one of the maifold intake metal bit had hairline crack in it thought the one the right side gone same changed that i do have some matches some were,its a t100 04 reg
The only other thing that comes readily to mind is dirt in the carbs or fuel filters if fitted. May be worth a look. Could even be muck in the bottom of the petrol tank. My Trident often has lengthy periods of idleness due to health issues, both me and t'wife, so I try to make sure that there is always a liberal dose of Redex , or similar, in the petrol to keep carbs etc clean. Seems to have worked so far! And yes, I am now clutching at straws!!
any chance you can type it out so it makes sense,lol? steve, I am the same as you and use additives,have to say it seems to work
sorry for not making sense both the intake rubbers changed also intake manifolds changed the bike is a 04 t100 Bonneville, the matches are captain web will look into the info both sent before anything else many thanks
Had a similar problem with my 07 T 100. Found that the O ring gaskets either side of the Inlet insulator missing. Fitted new ones,now runs fine. La Roca
yes thanks checked that redex and carb cleaner bit of a flat spot at 45 -50 ish think carb need syncing many thanks all
I had an 04 T100 which ran much smoother after syncing the carbs. Also have you tried cleaning out the little filter which sits in the T - piece at the end of the fuel inlet pipe? Can collect a lot of muck in 11 years!
I bought new inlet rubbers from Sprint, Less than a year later, and they were perished to the point of cracking on the outside. Obviously shit Chinese materials.
