Bandit Carb Rebuild
Have just purchased a cheap Bandit for an eastern european trip this summer. Although it ran sweetly for a few months the butterfly on my carb on cylinder three siezed and I had to strip and rebuild all four carbs to free it up. Although I completed the job as a usual carb rebuild I now find the bike won't start. I think its due to lack of fuel (checking the plugs..). I know I obviously disturbed all of the settings when I stripped everything but I was expecting it to run pretty roughly so that I could tune it from there.
I have checked the bowls and they are full of fuel. I made sure the butterflies were balanced perfectly before refitting the carbs, and I know the float valves are working. The only other thing I disturbed were the tickover jets. I returned them to factory start settings but wasnt sure where to set the butterflies. They are currently open to about 1mm with the throttle shut. Does this sound ok?
Alternatively (and although highly unlikely!) does anyone have any other suggestions???
Many thanks for any help, I know its possibly one of the more unusual bikes were likely to see on the forum!!!!
