First Start

[ozz]

 

(Zero 2.0 pinto injection now on ZX6R bike carbs kit collected end july 08.)

 

1st try fuel from carb breather -fires on 3 cylinders will not start.....-

solution. fitted presure regulator.

 

2nd try slightly less fuel from breather fires on one cylinder will not start.......

solution. New distributor cap and rotor arm.

 

3rd try no change

solution. stripped bike carbs found a sticking open needle valve - cleaned out crap

 

4th try no more fuel from breather fires on one cylinder sometimes two will not start ......

solution. checked timing belt timing settings realised that the yellow blob on dizzy is not a timing mark so I'm way out

Timing belt off. set tip of rotor arm to the previously invisible scribe mark (on the other side of the dizzy from the yellow blob) refit cap upside down.

 

4.5 try almost goes then realise dizzy caps only fit one way ......

solution. cap off leads moved

 

5th try ...Cough Cough Cough...I've gassed myself .. the b***er started in the garage with the door shut I didn't expect that ..

solution. opened garage door

 

6th try starts on the button :D :D :D

 

Idling very rough, temp gauge off the scale but I've got oil pressure and rev counter and its theroretically a car now

 

Thanks to all the help and inspiration from this site (and I'll need loads more before its finished) a mile stone has been reached.
