Re: Running problem driving me nuts!
How did you check for air leaks? One way is to spray suspect areas with carb cleaner (with engine running) and listen for a change in the way the engine runs.

Re: Running problem driving me nuts!
Try swapping the plug caps and see if it has an affect?
If it does read here or have a look anyway, https://cx500.000webhostapp.com/SV65..._And_Caps.html Faulty plug caps can be sneaky little buggers especially in rain.

Re: Running problem driving me nuts!
Well guys, This one has me beat. in 51 years of building/riding bikes I have never been beaten but this one did it. I finally took the carbs apart for the third time and found nothing so I reassembled them carefully swearing at every part and fired it up. Voila! Ran fine so I put it on facebay and flogged it in two hours.
I want to thank you all for your help on this and every other post I have done on here. Regards, Andrew, |

Re: Running problem driving me nuts!
I must confess that I'm quite sad that you've got rid of that lovely curvy, Blapper.

Re: Running problem driving me nuts!
Thanks Gary. I have to say it was the nicest bike to ride that I've had (after I did the straight bars conversion). Wonderfully neutral handling and quick enough for todays roads.
Thanks to @R1ffR4ff, @Bibio, @embee, @Biker Biggles and everyone else who passed on their knowledge and experience which made owning my SV an even more enjoyable experience. |

Re: Running problem driving me nuts!
Well, don't disappear from the Org, just because the curvy has gone doesn't mean you're not welcome.
