Gday guys,

Well I have got myself into the predicament that I don't ride as much as I used to, and I need some money.
This means that the beloved 1991 ZXR750 must go. But there is a problem - it needs a little work and money to get to a point where im prepared to sell it.

The things it needs is a ...

Ive never been to the Barossa Valley, but I just heard that the route this ride will go over is very hilly. Which will make it harder, but all the more worth it.
So make sure to chip in, Diabetes is an awful problem, and its up to all of us to nip it in the butt ASAP.

Yeah i can appreciate the differences between cycling and motorbiking, but we are all humans still at the end of the day. Motorcyclists can still get diabetes!!! hehe.
Every dollar counts and I much appreciate any donation made!!!

Come on guys, I still need your support!
Please donate, be generous, its XMAS!!!

G’day everyone!

I'm writing to ask for your support.
Help support the search for a Diabetes cure by supporting me on my 160km ride in the Barossa Valley in South Australia, my aim is to raise $10,000...

I believe that we need to find a cure for the 140,000 Australian children and adults living ...

Now its sparking and fueling but no starting.

Okay i disconnected the fuel hose from the inlet on the carbs, jumpered the pump straight to the battery and the fucker just runs on and on - so it works.
So something is making the pump stop when its connected to the carbs. Which is normal i assume if its stopping due to full floats or whatever ...

Okay, well i got myself a secondhand fuel pump, hooked it all up and i don't think the pump is running. I put the pump directly to the battery, and the pump will click then stop. Not sure as to what that means.
Also when i flick the key to ON, the pump isn't getting power but when i press the START ...

Well it turns out the reason it wouldn't start is because the bike is supposed to have a fuel pump, though it doesn't. Sounds like such an obvious problem...This is what the mechanic said anyways. And it turns out the brackets that hold the filter and pump are there. Just without anything on them.

Thanks for your help!

Ah ok yeah, would be gravity feed. Maybe installing a pump would be an ideal mod.
I got the mechanic coming round next week.

Yeah i shall replace the hose for sure!
Whats LBS?
And also, where is the fuel pump? The supply hose goes straight from the fuel shutoff valve (Which is connected to the fuel tank) to the carbs...

Yeah i have no idea how to tune them or how to tell if they are under/overfuelling but my uneducated guess is its overfuelling because it finally started and was puffing fuel smoke out the back...
When i reinstalled the fuel supply hose i accidently split it so i replaced it with a smaller hose ...
