    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.

oil & petrol mixture in air box

help!

just alittle bit stumped!


havent been out on the bike for a while and the other half started it for me today and it fired first turn (which was great!) after 5 mins cut out and leaked oil & petrol mix from the overflow off the air box.

any ideas at all?

this is the first time it has ever done anything like this.
 
sounds like one or more of the carb float (needle) valves hung open allowing gas to overflow into the crankcase, you'll need to change the oil and correct the offending float valve...sometimes being stored on the sidestand, will help a float hang up, as it's not square to the bowl and pushes up on the needle valve unequally, causing it to bind, could be a chunk of dirt in there too, or a groove in the float pivot rod.
 
thank you

thank you

thanks for that info, we thought it might be but thought better ask :o)
 
I had an 80 1100E fill my entire airbox with oil. I was 300 miles from home. I routed the breather hose into a Chevron oil can and recycled oil every 10-15 miles. I made it home.

Turned out to be the ringland area between the top ring and the 2nd had collapsed on two pistons. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but maybe a compression test would also be worth doing.
 
thank you

thank you
