Re: SVS does not rev
 

Morning all.

Sounds like it could be water in the carburettors. It would be worth draining them.
The drain screws are a bit of a pain to access, particularly on the front cylinder. You'll need a long 5mm ball ended allen key, & a small torch for this task.
If indeed there is water in them check inside the tank with a torch, water will appear to be a sort of jellyfish lurking at the bottom. If you have water in there then obviously you'll have to drain the tank.

Cheers.

If there's water in the carburettors, check the inside of your tank with a torch. Water will appear as a sort of jellyfish lurking at the bottom. Obviously if you have water in there you'll have to drain the tank completely, & dry it out.

BU99ER ME! It must be catching, now I'm posting twice:D

My post didn't appear the first time hence I re-wrote it. But at least I'm not talking twaddle unlike old Biglegs!:D

Cheers.

I used to have the water in the fuel problem, but I use a few cap fulls of Wynn's dry fuel and it's sorted it out.

Re: SVS does not rev
 

Does anybody else use methalyted spirits in the tank to let water burn off?

Re: SVS does not rev
 

Nope i use it on me screen and mirrors though :smt056

Re: SVS does not rev
 

No mate, I've never any to hand, 'cause I always drink any meths that's kicking about:D

Cheers.

Oh well mr lad di da southerner, brake cleaner not good enough for your sort eh? :p

Will the meths in the tank thing do damage?

Re: SVS does not rev
 

OIY Softie Northeren type, I'll have you know I drink Nitromoors for breakfast!:D

I doubt that meths will damage the tank, I've never tried it a an aid to removing water. It might damage the engine if you lob too much in though.

Cheers.

Re: SVS does not rev
 

Too much of it can make you go blind you know.:toss:
As can Meths.

You obviously know that already though.;)
