Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.

THis SV is the one I bought when I went back into biking in 2006. I couldn't believe how much bikes had improved since I got rid of my AJS CSR sport twin when my first child was born in 1962. Since I bought the SV I have had a couple of others , inc a Yam FZ1, but I hung onto the SV because it was simple the most reliable. She took me all over Ireland, France and Spain over the years. It will be my last proper bike. I am thinking of getting a Yam XMAS 300 for running around. My bike touring days are probably done though. Sad thoughts eh?

released cylinder head clamp securing rear carb but bolt head on front carb clamp is rusted too much for screwdriver to get a purchase. Any ideas on how to remove the front carb despite this? Not sure how easy it will be to saw through the clamp. |

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
Getting at the screw is the problem really. I'll have to see what long drill bits I have. I'll try my dremel(copy) - I may be able to grind off the head if I can get at it. Hell of a design

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
for working on Jap bikes you need a JIS screwdriver as a normal philips will just cam out and chew the head. i got this https://www.onlyqualitytools.com/cat...ewdrivers.html and it has been a life saver especially the impact when loosening (it only loosens on impact) the top carb screws. its not a full JIS screwdriver but its damned close. for most screws you only need the PH2.

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
Thanks Bibio, just ordered the impact driver.
I got the front carb free by levering the whole assembly up with a length of wood. The screw for the front choke cable entry is wasted. I'll try a small mole wrench on it later. I can see my having to cut the choke cable in order to get the b*gg*r off. . |

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
wait till the screwdriver arrives before taking a pair of molies to the screw. i have been amazed at what that screwdriver will take out, screws that look totally fubar have come out.

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
As someone mentioned in another thread here, there is a JIS screwdriver in the toolkit under the seat (if you still have one)
Might speed things up for you! |

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
I dug out an old impact driver I obtained years ago. It's got assorted bits. I propped a piece of thick softwood between the Carbs and the frame and used the impact driver. screw released quite quickly! It surprised me because the head was really mashed up.
The No2 impact driver I bought yesterday has been already dispatched so that's another tool I probably won't ever use I'll have a garage sale before I move to a smaller place Going to London for a long weekend so I'll continue the carbs saga next week |

Re: K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.
HI, Question:
Is the carb heater strictly necessary, because one of the cables to the front carb heater has come adrift(the one with the small spring)? The piston needles were a bit gummy. They cleaned up okay. |
