RE: No acceleration - 8/14/2008 12:50:53 PM    Slow   Posts: 29 Joined: 7/6/2008 Status: offline The bike accelerates at like 1/8 throttle but anymore than that and she doesn''t move. It runs a little better on choke and can get to like 6k rpm but no higher. (in reply to CrAzyHuRRicAne) Post #: 3

Or the fuel pump is not working properly Check the easiest possible problems and work your way to the more difficult ones. Let me know the results and good luck. _____________________________ My bikes: 1989 Cbr600f Hurricane - Restore in progress 1999 Kawasaki kx250 (in reply to Slow) Post #: 4

RE: No acceleration - 8/18/2008 10:01:59 AM    Slow   Posts: 29 Joined: 7/6/2008 Status: offline How do you check the fuel pump? Also, I replaced the fuel filter with a slightly bigger one since I could not find a stock size. Could that be the problem? (in reply to Billistic) Post #: 6

Bah,ha,ha! Don''t have time to type out fuel pump check but it''s not hard to do. _____________________________ Speed limit....... what speed limit ??!!!! 1988 Hurricane 600 Dynojet carb kit, K & N filter, F1 pipe Pirelli Sport Demon 150/70/17 rear, 110/70/17 front -1 front sprocket, +2 rear sprocket (in reply to Slow) Post #: 7

I am so upset, i thought the carbs being cleaned was going to take care of this. The idle changes based on bike positioning and it will rev up nice on choke while in nuetral but doesn''t rev up in nuetral with the choke off. (in reply to Billistic) Post #: 8

Turn ignition off 2. Disconnect the fuel pump relay wire connector and connect the black and black/blue wire terminals at the main harness connector with a jumper wire. 3.Disconnect the fuel outlet tube at the fuel pump and connect a tube that is long enough to reach a measuring cup. 4. turn ignition on and let fuel flow for 5 seconds then turn ignition off 5. multiple amout in measuring cup by 12 to determine fuel pump flow capacity per minute 6. should be 650cc or 22 0z. _____________________________ Speed limit....... what speed limit ??!!!! 1988 Hurricane 600 Dynojet carb kit, K & N filter, F1 pipe Pirelli Sport Demon 150/70/17 rear, 110/70/17 front -1 front sprocket, +2 rear sprocket (in reply to Slow) Post #: 9

RE: No acceleration - 8/20/2008 8:42:45 PM    Billistic   Posts: 174 Joined: 9/20/2007 From: Denver, CO Status: offline If you do a search on your problem, you will probably find a thread that says what that person found and how they fixed it. There have been a ton of threads on carb issues lately.( That''s what I think the problem is.) Apparently if you miss something in the cleaning then the problems still remain. Good luck! It would help if you could give more details too.  _____________________________ Speed limit....... what speed limit ??!!!! 1988 Hurricane 600 Dynojet carb kit, K & N filter, F1 pipe Pirelli Sport Demon 150/70/17 rear, 110/70/17 front -1 front sprocket, +2 rear sprocket (in reply to Billistic) Post #: 10

Also try checking the tightness of the carb boots so you don''t have an intake air leak. _____________________________ Speed limit....... what speed limit ??!!!! 1988 Hurricane 600 Dynojet carb kit, K & N filter, F1 pipe Pirelli Sport Demon 150/70/17 rear, 110/70/17 front -1 front sprocket, +2 rear sprocket (in reply to Billistic) Post #: 11
