Sorted, I had connecting the fuel line to some sort of vaccum stuff on the carbs :lol:

Bike's not running yet, but it's farting loudly :D

Muppet :p

What is it for btw? I understand the need for vaccum to power the pump, but what does it do to the carbs as well?

Tonio is the CV (Constant Velocity) carbs they will only suck up under vacuum and then drop again if the air below them can increase and decrease in volume

Are you saying that even though I am using an electrical pump, I still need to connect the vaccum inlet on the carbs? That would explain why she would not fire up...

Not sure what vacuum inlet you are refering to, I was thinking of the ones that have the black bobbin type filters on them

or did you originally connect to the overflow hose

Sorry Kev, I was even more confused than I got you confused :)

I actually connected the fuel delivery to the carbs breather :lol:

And after swapping the HT leads, the engine's now running. Roll on 2009 :D

Anton, maybe you should mark things or take a few pics before you pull them apart, or is it just the way the French do things :lol:

I don't like taking notes, marking stuff, etc... It just does not help me to understand what does what. Now I know that Mikuni CV carbs have a breather :lol:
