Haha think I'm going to agree, close enough for now, starts o.k, runs ok, revs o.k, still smoking, but that just maybe because it bloody freezing at the moment, keeping a eye on the coolant level, so I'm going to concentrate on finishing her now and get her on the road, will get pictures up soon.

Oh forgot to say that the smell of fuel from the crankcase is less

Hi everyone, I think I'm getting somewhere, today I gave the engine a flush and replaced the oil, and whilst the oil was dropping I checked over the carbs and found that the seals on the 2 of the needle jet assembly's were shot, I replaced and put new oil in and she goes a lot better, but whilst at ...

Up and running but not for long, the vapour from the crankcase defiantly has a strong smell of fuel, also when I had it idoling, and connected the breather hose to the air box and tank back on she stopped and refused to start, took number 1plug out as its the easy one to get out and it is carbon fou...

Yes the bike did run on the old plugs before the gasket replacement, It's a very interesting point you made about the plugs, but must be correct, as the bike came to life again. All I have to do is set her up now as its not running as smooth as before, the engine sounds sweet, but when it's started ...

Hi, I can't believe it what has happened, tried and tried all weekend, and it still would not go, then I was out with my son today shopping, and decided to try a new set of plugs, so bought a new set from a dealer, got home put them it and she fired up first time, feel a bit of a idiot, but in my de...

All back together, timing marks are pretty spot on, valve clearances done, I have spark, but the bloody thing will not fire up, when turning it over, try without choke and nothing put the choke on and there is slight puffing whilst its turning over, but not enough to fire it up, there must be fuel g...

Hi all, Well it's been a while, and I have had ups and downs, last week I finished the bike apart from the valve clearances, she looked great and sounded nice, started up on the button first time, here where it all goes pear shaped, noticed exhaust was smoking a bit, thought it would clear up once w...

Cheers

Hi

Anyone out there know how much oil each fork leg takes on a fzr400 rr 3tj, and also the required air gap, can only find info for the sp version, and have been told that they are different.

Cheers

It's all gone wrong again, went out yesterday to fire her up and nothing, kept trying but no luck. Eventually the battery was to low to continue, so of with the tank, and the carbs. The carbs looked all clean nothing nasty at all, so took the plugs out expecting them to be wet, as if they were flood...

Hi guys, It's been a while but this is where I'm upto at the moment, the carbs have been cleaned, needles lifted one notch, synchronised carbs fitted new air filter and plugs. I had to replace a few carb parts a few o rings and all of the airscrews as the original ones where missing the washers and ...

Hi guys, been away for a few days, but where I'm up to at the moment, is that I have carbs off, giving them a good clean, waiting for new plugs, oil, filters etc to arrive, I have discovered the cooling system has a slight leak from the metal pipe connected to the rear of the cylinders, bought new s...

I have been in touch with the last owner and he says the low speed problems started when the exup exhaust was on.

Also does anyone know the size of the standard jet set up as they have worn off. And with the new system what should I be looking to change and to what?
Any help appreciated.
