Re: Engine won't turn - stuck.
I still put a piece of wood under my bikes propstand to keep it more vertical. It's residual memory from the carb days when a sticking float wasn't that unusual and if you didn't remember to turn off the petrol tap you could get a puddle underneath.
I can't remember - does the curvy carb have an overflow pipe?

I didn't use as high as 6th. I was familiar with doing it on a 1000cc Ducati, which was relatively easy. Now that the cylinder is clear of fuel I tried it again, & it's more difficult to do it with the SV. |
