Sv carby cuts out
Hi
I have an sv carby...starts and ticks over fine....but when I rev it it instantly cuts out....then takes 5 mins to start.....thought it might be electrical because of the the way it instantly stops.....but then with it taking a little while to start while turning over,seems like it might be fuel starvation?...…..although the way it stops is so instant that I thought it would splutter a little bit before stopping if fuel starvation?....what are peoples thoughts? |

Re: Sv carby cuts out
Has it been sitting unused for a little while?
