BTW I noticed that the butterfly does not operate with the twisting of throttle cable. It opens only with choke lever. Is that how it should work? Pls point me in the right direction guys...

    can be a busted Spark plug.. try another one and see.. also there are 3 modes of choke.. one is off -midway-full .. make sure its on off..

      Thanks mate. I checked the spark plug. Current is definitely flowing and it is good. The choke was off while trying. When the choke is off bike would not start.

      Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

        Try a different plug...

        And if all.good.. the carburetor has 2 jets. Slow jet and main jet.. the slow jet is clogged for sure. Ask mech to pull it out and dip it in brake fluid.. theb clean with single strand of wire. You'd be good.

          Great then. I will try it.

          UPDATE

          The accelerator cable was installed wrong. I corrected it. Now the bike starts in mid choke and does not rev. However it just dies when the throttle is let off.

          I guess I will check the jets.

          I need guidance on finding the idle screw on cbz classic. Can u help please with pic or so?

            the idle screw is at the bottom of carb.. golden screw with a small spring. ideally a 10 size screw will fit in too.. tighten it completely and then 2.5 turns out again. thats optimal for the bike.. half turn + - is for lean or rich Fuel mixture. 2.5 is just apt.


            if the bike does not idle. it has to be only n only the slow jet. it gets clogged. clean it and you'd be good.

                Bottom of carb.. front side. . Towards the engine and was prone to get lost. ..

                  Yes mate. The good news is it is broken and half of it is stuck inside. Will try my luck. It is PITA to remove carb now. Will check slow jet as well.

                    Hey everyone!
                    I know I haven't been around for a while... And I've promised a few pics in my last post.
                    Sorry for my sudden disappearance.. Here are a few photos... Hope they'll make up for it (:

                      Update...
                      Waitin for the idle screw from the store keeper. Need to remove carn again.

                      1. Would old unicorn's rear rim directly fit the cbz? I doubt it. I ask because the store keeper said it would and pushed me to buy it.

                      2. Is it true that the cbz's engine has to be completely taken off the bike to do a valve or gasket replacement job?

                        I think it would be a straight fit.. Because unicorn also has the same 18" wheels. But I'm not completely sure...

                        Some of the more senior members might be able to help.

                        BTW are you looking for alloys or regular spoke ones???

                          Yes mate. Both are 18" but I guess there is a difference in the width. The cbz has a fat rim, much broader. I am interested I spoke wheels.

                                It does indeed take a lot of work to get this bike running in the right state, but in the end when you do ride it, you'll feel that it was all totally worth it (Y)

                                I still haven't got the right tune in my carb. My mechanic has given up on trying to tune it. And I don't fiddle around with it for fear of ruining what's even there.. But boy does it run absolutely perfect on cool cloudy~rainy days!
