blow through it Float needle valve clogged For both of the valves to be clogged either a very bad batch of fuel with an unusual additive has been used or some other foreign material has entered the tank Many times after a machine has been stored for many months without running the fuel turns to a varnish like liquid and forms deposits on the inlet needle valves and jets The carburettors should be removed and overhauled if draining the float chambers doesn t solve the problem Fuel pump faulty XRV models Check the fuel pump flow and renew the pump if necessary Chapter 4 Engine flooded Float height too high Check as described in Chapter 4 Float needle valve worn or stuck open A piece of dirt rust or other debris can cause the valve to seat improperly causing excess fuel to be admitted to the float chamber In this case the float chamber should be cleaned and the needle valve and seat inspected If the needle and seat are worn then the leaking will persist and the parts should be replaced with new ones Chapter 4 Starting technique incorrect Under normal circumstances i e if all the carburettor functions are sound the machine should start with little or no throttle When the engine is cold the choke should be operated and the engine started without opening the throttle When the engine is at operating temperature only a very slight amount of throttle should be necessary lithe engine is flooded turn the fuel tap OFF or disconnect the vacuum hose according to model see Chapter 4 and hold the throttle open while cranking the engine This will allow additional air to reach the cylinders Remember to turn the fuel tap back ON or attach the vacuum hose No spark or weak spark I i Ignition switch OFF Engine kill switch turned to the OFF position Battery voltage low Check and recharge the battery as necessary Chapter 9 Spark plugs dirty defective or worn out Locate reason for fouled plugs using spark plug condition chart and follow the plug maintenance procedures
