    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GSX 250 spluttering over 45 - 50 Carbs ? elecs ?

Bought the white plastic cnnectors online and terminals
that go inside and crimping tool.
Never done this before but simple and now has
secure connector and runs sweet.

There is enjoyment in riding these bikes of our
youth about. Mega fun. This does the runs to shops
etc now and shorter rides.
 
Have you done any "plug chops"? Find a suitable section of road. Get the bike to the "trouble zone" of 5k+ and HOLD the throttle there. If the bike keeps running but does not accelerate, GREAT. Hold the throttle there for as long as you can, but half a minute would be good. Hit the 'kill' switch, pull the clutch, coast to a safe spot. Pull the plugs and see what they look like. Color should tell you whether it's carburation, moisture will tell you if it's electrical.
 
I ha e not tried that but bike is sorted !
Was a loose connection from pickups near
the connector box !
Possibly dirt in carbs too.

Loose connections which displayed like fuelstarvation.
 
I just wanted to add something to this thread.
Whilst i thought it was running perfectly i took it out after doing nothing too it and it kept dieing.

of course i thought it was related to the old issues and was about to start again the horrendous
fault finding steps ....
But is was purely fuel starvation caused by a kinked fuel line. i had renewed them but the line was too long,
too flexible and adding a fuel filter made it rout incorrectly,

re routing the line and proper length all is well !
As people say it is sometimes the simple things.

Now need a 90deg bend fuel filter with 8mm tubes
