Sorted!

It was the starter clutch that had jammed, possibly caused by the fuel lock/kickback.

Thanks for the replies, and I'll sort that vacuum leak from the fuel tap now.

Happy days.

 

Wow, that was a protracted labor wasn't it? Original post by iPedro was Nov. 2012!!

Good to hear you have it sorted mate, and thanks to you for coming back and telling us of your success.

Hopefully now that you have the old girl going you can go out and enjoy her and maybe become a bit of a regular round these parts. You can always share your new found knowledge with other new members, that's how the Forum works.

Cheers

LOL Cheers
It was!

Central Otago's just a bit far for a Sunday tinkle out from Manchester, England, but thanks for the offer.

:-)

 

When I said "round these parts" I actually meant the Forum; not Central Otago.

Still you never know, it's been done before. If you ask nicely you can actually come to NZ and have a blast on my old girl on SH6,

One of the greatest highways in the world. Worked for Seb.

 

The same happens if you come to the North Island,there are a CBR1KFJ a VMax and a GSXR1100 available up here for those of you from offshore who make the trip down to this part of the world.
be good to hear any of you who want to make the trip.
