Hey there, i'm a member over at ninja250.com and recently got a 500R
So i bought this 2000 NInja with 1K miles off ebay that wasn't started in years and of course the carbs were gummed up.
Pulled the carbs, cleaned everything.
First trouble i'm having is the throttle cables, after i installed them back on the carbs throttle grip doesn't snap back and it's actually really hard to turn it. What would cause cables to behave like this???
Also, fuel is not leaving the gas tank at all when i'm cranking the motor, i removed the tank and filled up the float bowls with fuel through the tube and it's still not going anywhere. I think the problem is with vacum, the fuel is simply not getting to the carbs, it's not even leaving the petcock. I checked all the vacum hoses and everything is fine.
ANY help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Vlad.
