- Hi everyone, if this video helps you out at all or you just enjoy watching then please feel free to tip enough to get a hot drink or even a Pepsi max :). The channel does cost a fair few pound to run so all tips would go towards continuing the vids and making them better.
thanks

view my channel to see many projects to do with motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and sometimes other things like the odd campervan video or car service video.
I'm glad I'm not the only one going through the er5 fuelling struggle. I've rebuilt the tap and put all back together. Will be starting it up over next few days. I was equally anxious about starting it following a full oil change. I'll keep you posted. My leak was on that left hand side carb. I changed both float needles and rebuilt both carbs. Spoke to a mechanic friend who thinks it might be the actual fuel that is making these leaks. Keep the faith bud
I checked one more time before I ended yesterday and it once again had floaded the oil. Its such a pain.
I've now ordered a new set of oem quality float valves and of course have a tap rebuild kit coming. I today bench tested my carbs and 1 was definitely leaking but only needed adjusting.
So technically I got it sorted today, but for piece of mind I want it all done again.
th-cam.com/video/enVZ5Z4rSfg/w-d-xo.html do away with old tap system, make this.
@@gaza_ thanks Gary. I think this will be my next port of call. Did you have a similar leaking issue on the left hand carb? This looks like a logical fix
Put fuel back in today and ran the bike around the block. No leaks so far and all ok following the tap rebuild. Think I’m going to try Gary’s fuel idea as well just to be on the safe side
@@manbeastbutler4234 Gary's tap relys on the float valves doing a good job, I wouldn't lose the suction system in replacement for it but you could put it in somewhere to turn off over night.
I bought a rough running er5 for £400. The seller was chuffed when i didnt haggle then less chuffed when met him in Morrisons and told him that the only reason his bike wouldn't run right was the breather pipe pinched against the frame. I should've been kind and told him I'd spent hours messing with the carbs.
😂😂😂
Lol, that's an interesting one isn't it. Many years back I bought a Peugeot of my mate as a non runner. I towed it home and tried to fix it. I realized that if I started it with my foot to the floor that it would start but not rev very high. I sold it on ebay with that description.
The buyer messaged me the day after saying cheers mate, you put diesel in it, I topped it up with unleaded and it's running beautifully lol.
And I was a bit annoyed lol
Haven't caught up on some of your videos for awhile. So binging them now. Keep them up. At least the er-5 is running now nice one
Hi Andrew, the er5 is a great engine, just need to get these carbs sorted. I've ordered new float valves now just incase
@@motorcyclerescuer always good to have spares. Can't wait to see it running sweet
Thanks for the kind words fella, I've got to take my hat off to you for your dedication, enthusiasm and passion for bikes. Saving a bike just so it lives to ride another day regardless of any profit to be made is so refreshing to hear mate and wish more people would live life with that attitude.
Your getting there despite the Kawasaki throwing curve balls at you and it'll be on the road soon enough with someone very happy to have it. Keep at it and I'll be over as soon as the Blade is ready 😀
Thanks Kev, can't wait to see some of your projects.
@@motorcyclerescuer thinking of going for a spin today, are you working on the bikes today mate
@@nailgun540 yes Kev, just txt you back mate. You in London?
Very interesting issue with this er5... i would be chucking spanners left right and centre, admiring your calmness with this but you have had the carb off a ridiculous amount of times, I don't know how you do it but keep it up, looking forward to the next one. Great video Charlie l!
I definitely get frustrated however these carbs take 5 mins to get of which is great.
I think I have it sorted now in my head lol, I've ordered new oem quality float valves which will help stop the flow of fuel and I've just received the fuel tap repair kit.
Fingers crossed its resolved on the weekend.
Thanks for watching Ashley.
All good stuff my friend 👍all about bringing back from the dead. Salute
Its a pain. But fingers crossed I get there
Damm had fingers crossed on that er.... What a absolute killa
It floaded the oil I put in aswell again yesterday. I've ordered some new original float valves now just incase.
These videos are very helpful. I've just bought a 2006 ER-5 that needs cleaning up -- only 6,000 miles from new. Could you recommend a good quality oil? I was thinking Castrol Power 1 maybe? Appreciate any advice.
Honestly I just use any 10w40 semi 4t. These engines are basic so need nothing special.
@@motorcyclerescuer Ok, thanks for the response. Cheers.
little electric fuel valve from a car lpg system...turn your key,valve open,shut down engine,valve closed,and no more fuel in engine oli never. or just insteda of electric valve,put simple on of manual valve. or both for security. of course, before that remove old stoopid original vacuum system
Great idea. I'll look into this.
Thanks for watching
I'said before and say again I would watch hours of your videos a week, I mean what else is there to do, lol
That vid was abit disappointing but I promise tonight's is a good watch I think.
Would that oil work in a 125 four-stroke if so do you have a link to it
You would have to see what your bike prefers so check online but yes the weight of it is great for most bikes in the UK. One moment I'll get you a link.
