  1. anyone have a link to a parts schematic for that model ? i have one for my 2000 V11, not sure what year Tenni that is. would be pretty easy to buy the bracket and hoses , I assume- the pump is probably the same
  2. can anyone direct me to photos/diagrams of the Tenni set up ?

    Great catch- I love that quote !
  4. I disconnect the line from the petcock to burp it. Then I have no problem. Even if I idle at a traffic light too long in 80 degree plus temps it will start to spit and stumble. I think it may be too lean to begin with. But it;s real sensitive to temperature. I have a manual petcock to install ( one of these days) which should help. If you have the electric petcock there is a good chance it isn't working , but the pump sucks it open anyways, unless you have vapor in the lines.

    Oil Cooler

    you can get one of these left hand drills big enough to take off the head - either it will grab enough to unscrew it while you are drilling , or you will get the head off which will allow tou to remove the cooler and put some vice grips on the exposed threads and break it loose
  6. uess I should downshift, I have been running around 2800 rpm , I do wind up to 5-6k when accelerating but work my way into 6th
  7. yup the broken electric petcock will fail in the closed position. but a fuel pump in good health can suck it open, hiding the failure until either you have vapor in the lines or the fuel pump can't generate enough vacuum to hold it open.
  8. wow your bike looks good. I have to say , you must be huge- it looks like a minibike with you on it lol edit: I see that is your son Chris !
  9. There isn't nearly enough stuff in that garage
  10. wow beautiful project now that you are running out of things to do , I would make the muffler brackets more "interesting" ( cnc machined aluminum , with more 3 dimensional detiaql and lightening holes etc ) not a criticism just a suggestion
  11. Don't know if this makes a difference , but turning the ignition on , letting the pump run till it stops 3-4 times in a row seems to result in faster starts . You should check out the "accumulated fuel line vacuum bubble " issue in this forum as it may be a related issue as well.
  12. Boy that is familiar , that's my bike ! How funny !
  13. Pleas take some before and after shots
  14. Well I am now convinced the "accumulated bubble" in the lines after many starts is the issue- I had the no start condition last week ( at 1 AM ) and the temps were very cool and the bike had been sitting at least an hour. I pulled the hose off the petcock n put it back on and she started right up. Maybe a T fitting with a schraeder valve would facilitate quick bleeding. I read of a re-routing of the lines to fix this and I will probably look at this this winter. Just prior to this she had started to cough off idle and generally run ratty ( lean) After the bleeding , ran super .
  15. To me, that is a post or pin, not a boss. At least as an English speaker . A boss is more monolithic and typically an integral part of whatever it sticks out of. Of cours ei Am assuming that is what this is, something screwed into the casting ? if it is cast in, them I guess boss is correct.
