My F2 has no fuel filter setup, tank to carbs and thats it.

As for the bike, if you can get it started again then I doubt you flooded your engine but if it turns over and doesn't start then you'll have to pull the plugs and see if they are fouled/wet with gas.

 

ok f2s have no pump but do have screen filters in the pet unless someone removed them trust me. f3s came with a pump to compensate for ram air i.e. u need better fuel flow to compensate for higher air rate or youll be lean. check ur plugs first off thatll tell u if ur floodin er alot. clean or replace them and if that dont work check or remove ur pet filter (ur bike will run fine without it) check ur airfilter while u got ur tank off and if all that dont work clean/sync ur carbs and make sure ur air fuel screws are right.

 

I took it into the dealer where I got it from. I got them to let it sit over night and had them try to start it in the morning.
The same thing happened to them so they think it is a carb problem.

I hope they fix it soon cause I want to be riding it. Also they had better do it for free or atleast very much discounted because I only picked it up from them last week.

 

mine was doing that a while ago so i stripped all the carbs down cleaned them put them back on and it did the same, it was like my choke was sticking on so i sprayed all the moving parts on the choke and gave them a small tap with a hammer and its been fine ever since.

 

I picked up the bike again. They said they didn't do anything to it because they couldn't get it to repeat again the next day.

So I rode it home and it was fine.

This morning I looked at the weather and it was supposed to be sunny and about 12 deg C so I thought I would ride in to work today. That was not to happen.

I get it started up, let it idle to warm up for abit on the choke, like 45seconds or so and then I take the choke off and keep the revs up with the throttle. I ease off the throttle after a min and it stays idling so I shut the garage door and get back on the bike. The engine temp guage hasn't moved at all so I decide to let it warm up a bit more. Then it dies.

I am able to get it started again but only lasts for about 30seconds.

I am starting to think that it might be happening because of the over night temperature. It was at least -5 deg C over night last night so if there was any condensation in the fuel supply lines, or fuel intake to the carbs, it would freeze and the bike would only run for as long as there was fuel in the carb cups. Which would be about how long it lasted (i'm thinking anyways)

I might pick up some gas anti-freeze and put that in my next tank if anyone thinks that it might work.

 

I have been doing some reading this morning and apparently carbs can freeze up any where from +6C and down depending on dew point.

Might be that is what is happening on my bike as every time It has happened it has been less then 10C and the over night temp was 0C or less.

I'm gonna try the gasline anti-freeze to see if that will help but other wise i'm gonna assume that the problem is icing carbs.

 

Seems it was some kind of dirty carb/ clogged fuel line as I got it to clear up after running some fuel injector/carb cleaner fuel treatment through.

Hopefully it doesn't return.

 

never heard of gas anti freeze, who carries them??
