With the float level reverted to 42mm........I tried these bench tests. Test 1: I manually tested the float valve by blowing air through the inlet while tilting the float down (gravity only) and the air valve closed. I do believe the valve works fine but I don't have adequate tooling to pressure tes...

FAILED. Applied a service kit with a new needle valve and set the float to 46mm........it was worse than before. Therefore a second batch of brand new oil&filter was ruined within a couple of minutes of running and attempted tuning. It stalled after turning the choke off and I left it alone. I o...

After a refresher course \ read through the Weber thread last night I've concluded there's no silver bullet with the setup. We all need to factor in climate, riding styles, air filters, exhausts, fuel from different parts of the world etc..... The bike ran fine with the previous set up but my float ...

Thanks Higgy. Updates: - Compression test (cold) is 130psi front and rear. - Applied new engine oil and filter therefore I'll await the Weber service parts before a hot compression test - Float offset was at 42mm. Adjusted to 46mm. - Pressure tested the needle float valve and it may have a slight le...

Thanks Higgy. Things are starting to unravel. The good: - 13volts + supplied to each coil (Battery is 13v plus too) - Plugs are new (still sooty), checked, cleaned and refitted as they're new - Weber\Carb, all the jets appeared clean so I blasted them out anyway and refitted - Carb float, float valv...

Hi All, Seems like this forum has gone a quiet however I'll put a post out and see if anyone can assist. I've owned this bike for 10 years and in most part has run very well. About eight years ago I changed the Aux Venturi from 3.5 to 4.5 and stepped up the 'main' and 'AC' jets on the DCNF44 Weber t...

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I'm not aware of a sealant either, just thought I'd ask before pulling things apart.

I went with the later model 900 ss mirrors, I think they might be more functional and look pretty right, swapped the fuel tank internals to the freshly painted tank as well. IMG_20230204_000422_(1024_x_768_pixel).jpg @Highway - Looks brilliant, you've done a great job! Could I please ask what seala...

Thanks Higgy. I purchased a newer model sender (part 59210161A) which supposedly fits \ works with this model from a retired parts seller in the Netherlands. He's got old parts needing to be cleared out and well priced considering what other people are charging. Parts haven't arrived yet but they ap...

Thought I'd respond to this old thread. I took a different angle on the matter as the previous lead acid battery expired. I upgraded from a cheap 110cca lead acid unit to a sealed lithium battery with 220cca. The lithium battery makes the old lead unit look like a joke.......and most importantly it ...

Hi All, I've got a minor issue in which the ring float within the fuel tank doesn't float anymore. As a result the reserve fuel light remains on. Has anyone got any advise on how to (home) fix the float or whether there's any reasonable pump, filter and float kits out there to renew it all? I've tem...

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have the tooling for this and I'm probably better off paying a mechanic.

Can anyone recommend a good operator to carry out the work in Metropolitan Melbourne?

Obviously experienced with these bikes and I'll supply the parts.

Hi All, I've had my 750 parked up for a while and recently changed the oil and belts to start riding it again. Overall the bike runs great however the sprag is getting worse. With cold starts in particular I'm getting more and more sprag slip. Once warm, it starts without issue so I'm undecided whet...

Thanks everyone for your responses……much appreciated.

I'll keep you posted once I make some changes.

Testing came back at 4.5ohms on each coil. This coil claims to be suitable quoted at 4ohms but isn't a brand I've heard of. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271621597212?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Other posts claim the 3 or 5ohm Dynatek will do the job. If the 3 ohm Dyn...
