1988 honda hurricaine-1000f did some work on carbs and now it goes from idle to redline all by itself?
What did i do wrong.
also the fuel T is still leaking after new o-rings
1 side leaks and the other does not.
i'm ready to get rid of it but wanted one last few weeks of speed demon on the lose… Depressed
Are the carb manifold rubbers correctly fitted, have you checked they are not split?
First thing you did wrong was to split the carbs from the rail.
Never split carburetors apart.
The o-rings are probably leaking because the carbs were installed unevenly.
That can be a cause of the out of control idle.
After splitting carbs, they have to be synchronized.
Check for leaking intake manifolds.
Ever hear the phrase "do over"?
You're going to have to keep re-assembling the carbs until you get them right.
Happens to the best of us.
Let out a big Arrrrggghhhhh!
And try again tomorrow.
I agree with the previous answer about never splitting the carbs. Clearly, you're going to have to take them back apart regardless of whether it's the source of your other problem, but I'd also look at your vacuum connections. While imbalances between carbs can lead to erratic behavior, my experience is that the most dramatic cases occur when the air is imbalanced rather than the fuel. In some cases, even a pinhole sized leak can cause problems. To this end, while you've got the carbs back out again (to realign the O-rings), verify that you haven't poked a hole in any vacuum diaphragm, and make sure that all other seals and rings are in perfect condition. An improper or leaking vacuum connection or a hole in an air diaphragm can absolutely drive the RPM up to redline.
- What pivot bolt will work for a 1988 Honda cr250? My friend gave me his bike to work on. But I need a new pivot bolt which ones will work? I found a 1997 bolt but the seller doesn't know if it will work. Any help will be much appreciated thanks
- Motorcycle honda-1988-hurricane-1000F t-connector o-rings leaking? I was told i can just get some from the hardware store and they will work. i tried it and it leaked for a day but sealed up after the fuel made them swell. but after 3 days of no fuel in system they started leaking again… The honda shop wants 28.00 for 4 of them… any idea's out there. I really want to ride this bike a few times before i have to give it up for good…
- Does the fuel pump on a 1994 Honda Shados stay going, or is it only to prime the carbs when starting? My Honda Blackbird is also carbureted with no fuel pump, therefore I don't see why it'd be necessary for a classic style V-twin. Is it on all the time while the engine is running, or is it just used in tandem with the starter?
