Starting problems
Hi All thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
My daughter has a cbr125 56 plate. The fuel pump vacuum pipe came adrift last week and the bike obviously refused to start. I have reattached it after changing the air filter (tank removed) but it still won't start. Get a decent spark at the plug, plug is wet with fuel. Turning engine over seems to flood carb as fuel is running out of overflow pipe. I don't think I've reversed the vacuum and fuel pipes as I'm not sure fuel would flow. The new air filter is a pattern part but no other changes made.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for your suggestions. I took the air filter box off and checked the needle movement which seemed smooth. For some bazaar reason I decided to blow down the vacuum pipe and fuel pipes to see if they were clear ( they were) and then tried starting he engine and much to my surprise it started with the fuel remaining in the carb. As I replaces the air box, breather pipes etc I retried starting it with no problems .
All back together so will take it for a run tomorrow. Thanks once again
