Venox 250 / Re: Help!!! Can't figure out why it won't run
« on: August 24, 2015, 11:53:04 PM »
Okay I finally had time today to get it back together, I by passed the canister situation and just connected all the vacuum lines together and to the auto fuel assembly cranked it over a few times with the drain on the bowl open to make sure it was getting gas, and it still didn't start, even after I sprayed starter fluid in it.  Here's where it gets strange,  I unplugged the electronic connection attached to it and it started right up.  Here's a clip to hear it runWatch "Venox running" on YouTube
Venox running: http://youtu.be/U8ItCLLUQGM. My question now, does it need the canister setup?  And what does the electronic connector control?

did a compression test and the front and rear cylinders are both within tolerance and I tested the spark both cylinders were firing.  I also pulled the carbs again and took out all the jets and blew compressed air through again, turned the idle mixture screw til it was all the way tight marked that position with a sharpie and loosened it 2 and a half turns.  I'm to put it back together tomorrow and hopefully it will start.  I'm going to try to attach the pictures that I took along the way, here you can see how it arrived with the three canisters, and if you have any input it's greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I already replaced the auto fuel paddack, the other one was bad.  And I checked it with a vacuum pump to make sure it's working.  I also replaced the air filter the oil filter and the solenoid.

 The model year is a 2009 and it's not fuel injected,  the float bowls are filling up on both sides, plugs are dry.  I will check cylinder compression tomorrow.   Vacuum lines are connected to the right ports I think.   How many vacuum canisters am I supposed to have?  This bike has 3.

Hey guys, I've been reading for a while and a few months ago I got my very first venox 250.  It was a steal for 450 bucks from a dealer, only problem was, it didn't run.  No problem I thought, I'm a car guy i should have this thing up and running in no time right....wrong.  Let's start from day one, when the bike was finally delivered it was dead, battery was a done deal so I bought a new one and the motor turns over nicely, sprayed some starting fluid in the intake and it started right up and ran for a few seconds.  looking at the vacuum diagram on the rear fender it looks like there were three canisters on this bike and the diagram only showed two, so I thought it was a problem with the vacuum hoses.  I disconnected all the hoses from the canisters and ran them all together to the fuel tank so that there was vacuum to operated the fuel valve.  The valve was bad and had to be replaced so I did that, now with all the vacuums hooked up it still wouldn't start on it's own but when I sprayed starter fluid it started and ran under it's own idle for like 30 minutes so I shut it off thinking I've solved the problem.  The next day I rehooked up the vacuums like the diagram shows and it wouldn't start, disconnected them and rehooked them up like they were before, still wouldn't start, pulled the spark plugs cleaned them with a torch and put them in hot, still wouldn't start, went to pull the tank off with the ignition still on and gas leaked into the plug for the fuel sending unit and kinda burned both sides of the wire up and I think it may have fried more than that because since then the spark to one of the plugs has been extra week and even when I put starter fluid in it still will not run or run really bad for a few seconds and then die and will not restart.  When turning the engine over I don't smell any kind of gas like it's even getting close.  Can anybody help or do I need a new bike.  I already pulled the carbs off and cleaned them up pretty good as well as blew compressed air through all the openings, at this point I'm just lost.  Somebody help please.  Oh and it seems to take up to three weeks to order any new parts either through the dealer or online so that hasn't helped me do this quickly either.
