85 1200 honda aspencade carbs
« on: December 30, 2007, 02:42:49 PM »
Had to change my choke cable so I figured I would clean out the carbs  while I had them out . Well long story  short I put them back on and no fuel to the carbs.  I have fuel to the carbs but nothing gets to the float bowls. Any ideas?????? :-\  HAd the drains open and no fuel gets to none of the carbs.  Motor will run on starer fluid but will die shortly after runs thru the system.  Adn bowls still empty.  Any ideas short of pulling the carbs again will be helpfull .  Thanks Joeb

Could all floats be stuck closed?  Seems unlikely, but...   You could try the old "tapping with a screwdriver handle"trick, or maybe some compressed air down the fuel inlet.  Good Luck!

You did put the floats in the right way up?

Well believe it or not all the floats were stuck closed but I got them to work without pulling the carbs. I guess they did not like the position they were in.

How did you get them unstuck?

I used a small vibrating sander with no sand paper and touched the bottoms of the carbs and It was enough to get them to move. ;D
