    Okay, whilst my bike was off the road due to it heat seizing i fitted a 21mm carb to go along with my stage6 sport pro and C16 pipe.. however it wouldnt start so i disconnected the 21mm and put my old 17.5mm back on. The bike started 1st kick :D

    My question is.. why wouldnt it start with the 21mm when all i done was disconnected from the 21mm and connected the same pipes to the 17.5.

    Heres the pics.

    How i setup the 21mm, lots of unconnected nipples.

    How i setup the 17.5, worked perfectly.

    The 21mm was getting fuel into the float bowl but was bone dry inside where the slide is and i know the choke is on in the pic but i tried on/off. Also i realised the vaccum nipple is unused but where does it connect to as all nipples on the fuel tank are connected and work fine on the 17.5.

    Please someone help as ive spent alot of money and its frustrating for it to not work!

    That doesnt help at all.. My main question is how comes the vaccum works with my 17.5 but doesnt with my 21mm even though the same pipes are connected.. and where do i connect the vaccum pipe to and all on fuel tank are connected already.

    Because all the pipes on my tank are already connected and i obviously shouldnt disconnect them if they make my 17.5 work.
