#574662 68jmpr (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1254 Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   So I went pumpless last year, but never put the grizzly valve in until day before yesterday. Bike not getting gas now?? Before I take everyting back off I thought I'd ask. I checked, getting gas out of the tank before filter, removed gasline at the carb connection and have gas there as well, I did manage to loosen the bowl drain screw - only got a couple drips-then nothing?? I let the bike sit overnite and tried to start again after battery was charged, lots of cranking but not a hint of it trying to start. What could I have plugged or what to check when I go back in there?? I was very careful not to bend anything on the float. Thanks for the help- as always I know it's gonna be something stupid- haha   Logged     http://s1150.beta.photobucket.com/user/68jmpr/library Open Sub-Folders to left for more pix   The administrator has disabled public write access. #574667 pastornj (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3110 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   I've got one - no problems - but my initial guess is it is stuck in the closed/up position. Before I would take everything apart I'd tap lightly on the sides of the carb with the float bowl screw loose and fuel valve in reserve position. LIGHTLY tap around on the sides you can get to and see if the fuel starts flowing. If not, you'll have to tear it back down to see what's wrong.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7151 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   You probably need to adjust the float level. I don't have the Grizzley valve, but I'm assuming the adjustment is similar to the regular one. Someone will be here soon to give you more info. I know there is a write up in the tech articles about adjusting the float level   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #574673 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   It's either stuck shut, or something got dislodged between the filter and there, and is plugging up the seat, on the fuel inlet side. Have you pulled the small screen filter on the carb inlet? Try the tapping thing mentioned above, and see if it does the trick.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #574674 pastornj (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3110 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Deerkiller wrote: You probably need to adjust the float level.

Guess I'll have to take it off and see. Float level hasn't been a problem since I was already pumpless. Will let you know what I find, might not get it apart today tho.   Logged     http://s1150.beta.photobucket.com/user/68jmpr/library Open Sub-Folders to left for more pix   The administrator has disabled public write access. #574697 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5329 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   You changed the needle and seat right?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #574705 pastornj (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3110 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Mr_Shamrock wrote: You changed the needle and seat right? I don't think the Grizzly needle will fit the smaller valve without some serious force Of course, that would explain the lack of fuel NJ   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #574712 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 4486 Re:Grizzly valve install 5 Years, 1 Month ago   You can remove the bowl without removing the carburetor. Did you grease the O'ring on the new seat before trying to push it into the carburetor? Is it possible that the seat isn't pushed in all the way? With the bowl off the float should move up and down freely. If it won't then something's out of adjustment, either the float is out of adjustment or the seat isn't all the way in. Let us know what you find.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
