I had a similar problem when I had left the bike to sit for quite a while, although I have Dell Ortos. What happened was that the needle valves got stuck in an "almost closed" state. By this I mean that the fuel would only seep past these valves. I could start her up and run for between 30...

Luca,

Thanks for going to all this effort. I haven't been brave enough to try this yet (and my bike is still being stored from my house move). Your photos make it much clearer in my mind.

Paul

Red,

I've just turned 43 and have two sons (19 and 15) who constantly remind me that I am old.

Paul

Jay,

I might be wrong but lceriani has a Paso with a Monster engine in it. I am sure he will respond to a Personal Message, or you can look through some of his postings. His name is Luca.

Red, The scanner is still packed so I took a photo of it. I have also reduced the size down to 46KB so the quality might not be so good. http://storage.msn.com/x1pGg9EMswqL-_sTMR1BinMVlrDrNERLvhbpetg0ypHm0Pk6QLHPsdLYIW-cjxV-eWY7MMd2XfopzMI_fnXc1vM7_vvHJNTMSio3xHyspLvnFqSZmLGm5LEDOffWlEJZqSr9Auucb4Tb...

Red,

I'll try on Monday.

Paul

I get the impression that we Paso riders tend to be of the "more mature" type. I don't think that the typical Paso rider is in his (another assumption) teens or twenties. I thought I would start a poll to try and find out the age of a typical Paso rider / owner. I was going to add an extra...

Red / Skins,

My Father went on a water colour painting course a couple of years ago and painted me a water colour 750 Paso as one of his first efforts (the wheels are not exactly round, but then it is "art"...). It is about 13 X 19 cm.

One of the ways in which it will be different will be that there will be the people who stayed, and the people who left. And the people who stayed will, probably with some justification, feel that the city belongs just a little bit more to them. Skins, Your comment is exactly what happened in South...

You guys are very brave when you know that your wives won't read this...


Paul

Congratulations skins. I only got back from leave this morning (moving house).

Paul

I must admit that I am not that confident about beating the All Blacks at home.

What is the story if we lose tomorrow and the Wobberlies beat the All Blacks ?

Paul

Please don't do what I did. I made the mistake of reading the article while I was eating my lunch. Egg mayo and the following quote don't go down too well... When your brain swells inside the skull, there's no place for that extra volume to go. So it presses harder against the inside of the skull an...

Thanks Carl.

Paul

Carl, I'll probably be brave enough to strip this in a week or two. I have the printout from Jon's link (thanks Jon). You mentioned that you could put together an explanation of how / what needed to be stripped. Unfortunately I don't have a workshop manual so I have to rely on the help from you guys...
