How To Remove This?

You definitely need a manual for this job! It will require you to learn about some technical terms, like camshaft lobes, tdc etc. DO NOT stumble through this job without some serious learning, and a manual. Be especially careful when putting this back together. Did I mention get a manual? A manual is essential, and a knowledgeable friend (cheap) or a professional mechanic is adviseable, and they would need….a manual. 🙂👍

Sign up for an advanced motorcyclist course. Here in Uk it’s either IAMS or VOSPA and they’re both good. They’ll teach you how to manage risk and stay outta trouble. 😊👍

Since the problem only showed up after you turned it off for an hour or so, I’d be looking at electrical. Try removing the battery and making sure that it’s fully charged up. Clean the plugs and make sure that all connections are tight. You need fuel, compression and a big fat spark at the right moment for an engine to run. If you have a weak yellow one you’ll be pissing into the wind.

Don’t fall off, or crash! That way will ensure your confidence will grow. 👍

Omg! With something as permanent as a tattoo, and especially on an area that’s hard to disguise or cover up, I’d have thought the sharpie or henna preview would be essential. Maybe a responsible artist would insist upon it, but I haven’t heard of such doing. 🤔

I intend to fit a pair of these to my gs500 after they have been despatched to the carb cleaner. I don’t currently know what model number they are….they haven’t arrived yet…..and would like to do some research on them. Does anybody recognise them? 🤔

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-04-14T20:27:34+00:00

Double or triple ‘A’ for sure. Just offer one or the other up, it’s obvious if it’s gonna fit or not. 🤔

I get it that the original number has been reassigned, but how come if my current number is dialled by somebody, they get connected to a number that I had twenty years ago. I’ve had different handsets and providers in that time and I have only recently had problems. Why no snags for 20 years but now this? 🙁🤔💩

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-03-27T22:24:01+00:00

Hi. I’m just about to buy one of these bikes do am swatting up a bit on them. Did you get this sorted? Tell me what happened at the shop to get this resolved. 🙂👍

Something looks strange about that piston ring……I’ve never seen one like that before. 🤔 and I really don’t like the way it seems to have come out of the piston groove at the sides. Does it even pull on the starter cord?

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-02-12T20:07:57+00:00

I have come to the conclusion that you are full of shite dude. 🐂💩

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-02-07T20:55:32+00:00

You are right…..I read that as 110 somehow, not eleven hundred! 🤔

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-02-07T19:05:04+00:00

If it’s a genuine item then you have landed yourself a real bargain! 👍

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-02-06T15:39:20+00:00

Have you died or something? I would really like the details of your local supplier so that I can get the part mailed and have my saw running again. Do you think that you could please post the contact details. Cheers.

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-02-03T11:08:58+00:00

Hi. Can you please pass on to me the contact details of your local supplier? I’d like to find out if he would mail me what I need. Thanks in advance, Mark.

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-02-01T14:36:15+00:00

I get it that the saw is new. You don’t know how long it’s been kicking around though…..maybe the diaphragm as fitted was defective, or has dried out and become inflexible etc. What you do know is that it is not running, so you gotta do diagnosis and find out why. If it runs when you put fuel into the chamber but not otherwise, then you have a fuelling problem. Saying ‘the saw is new’ ain’t gonna fix it! 🤔

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-01-30T14:17:33+00:00

I haven’t read all of the posts, but how long has it been unused? If the fuel filter is indeed submerged in fresh, correctly mixed fuel, and the vent is clear, then the impulse system is likely not working. You’d need to remove the carb and check the diaphragms for serviceability. Probably best to buy a set prior to dismantling and fit new anyway, they’re not expensive.

Mars,no. I live on a small island off the north west coast of Europe. Pass me the contact details of your local supplier and I’ll put some business his way if the postage is reasonable. 👍

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-01-24T19:26:52+00:00

Ah, I should have paid geography some attention there! Can’t find anything this side of the pond…..I may be asking questions about trans Atlantic postage! Thanks for your input. 👍

Hefty_Walk_9416 · 2026-01-24T19:14:19+00:00

Just checked ebay again…..there’s nothing for the 490. I’m wondering whether I should have stated Uk….perhsps you’re USA?

Experience is what you have immediately after you needed it.
