Hi, my 1980 750c does not have an accelerator pump fitted to no. 2 carb and I have read on other threads that the European models did not have them fitted.
It is really hard to start from cold and has been since I bought it last year.
The choke mechanism is working OK and following previous advice I have re-set the valve gaps and cleaned the carbs out.
I'll clean the carbs again.
I also cleaned out the tank and fitted an inline filter. There is good flow of fuel to the carbs.
I suspect the floats are sticking and not letting fuel in because as I turn the bike over there is no great smell of unburned fuel.
After a few turn on the starter, it begins to rumble and then eventually will fire up if the battery lasts.
Do you think the floats could be the issue?
