       Bogging and backfire on acceleration
       By: krisztian_andre Date: October 30, 2016, 12:46 pm

       HI,
       finally got the papers for my NF and took an 80km ride.
       I noticed a strong smell of fuel from the exhaust when stopped.
       If I open the throttle fully while doing 80kph or so the engine
       boggs down and I hear a loud bang(backfire). If I'm careful with
       the throttle then I can reach 100kph, but slowly.
       Is this normal?
       Regards,
       Kris

       Assuming you haven't dicked around with the jetting I would say
       the float needle is sticking, maybe just dirt preventing it
       sealing

       That explains fuel disappearing from the tank when I leave it
       standing long.
       I cant seem to be able to turn the fuel valve on one side to
       close it and on the other side if I turn the valve handle the
       screw under it turns with it and starts leaking.

       I agree with the previous suggestion and my advise is as follow:
       1- clean up carefully the carburator (change all the filters,
       seals and gasket using the revision kit of Dellorto)
       2-verify that all jets and adjustments are as specified,in
       particular you should verify that the float needle is a "red
       point" one suitable for unleaded petrol ;
       3-adjust rhe carbutator as per specified values;
       4- verify the advance and contacts points opening are as per
       required values;
       5-Use gasoline 98 of high premium gasoline ( do not use biofuel)

       Also for the fuel valves , you can reconditioning them,
       for the valve seals if are damaged, you can made them out of
       Viton gasket plates;
       With the NF you can solve almost every inconvenient by your
       self, providing that you divide the bigger problem into many
       little problems.... 8) 8) ;)

       I wouldn't go to that trouble and expense initially. I'd just
       take off the air filter housing  pop off the float  spray and
       clean  with something not abrasive the float needle and seat and
       put it all back together again. You could  check on the float
       height but unless you have the specs I'd clean the float jet etc
       first. If it's been sitting around it may have gunged up. My
       tank had water in it and I did have to  fiddle with the float
       height. To test that just run it with the fuel taps closed and
       if the revs pick up then the float height is too high, or your
       float is still leaking. If it spits off idle then that's often
       an indication it's too low, assuming your jetting is close. I
       just bent the float tang to weaken and then reset to richen it a
       tad, didn't take it apart, or remove the carb .

       I changed the fuel taps and cleaned the carb.
       The fload axle was bent which resulted in fuel leaking into the
       cilinder and engine oil.
       Going to rebuild the engine this year.
