Carburetter overflowing/ not starting TT600R '03
hi all,
A couple of days ago the bike cut out on highway speed a couple of times, but after kicking it (the kickstarter i mean) it went on. I suspected and airlock: tankbag blocking fuelcap vent.
day before yesterday when crossing the border into Paraguay i noticed that my carb was leaking fuel. So i drained the carb and that seemed to work.
This morning i didn't start at all, so draining again. Didn't help. Took the old sparkplug out, was dry, which i think is weird after trying to start it for a few minutes. Put in an old spare sparkplug, checked if it worked first. No sign of life. Then the carb started overflowing again.
I have an inline fuelfilter.
Before i take the carb apart i really like to have some idea what might be the problem.
Oh, before all this happend i did a lot of bad washbordy roads through Bolivia a about two weeks ago. Bike worked fine after that till yesterday.
Can it be that due to vibrations etc. the carburettor bowl level changed?
Any info highly appreciated.
Sander
