Bill_on_a_bike Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 How new are you to all this? No offence bud, and it wouldn't be the first time i'd done it, but it does sound like stalling to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_on_a_bike Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 nah fair enough probably is something a bit wrong then.As said above, cleaning the air filter, and tightening clips on rubbers between carb and airbox, and carb and engine, it can't hurt.If your uncles going to clean the carb though, he'll have to loosen them all off anyway, when he puts them back i'm sure he'll tighten them up. Get your uncle or someone to check the float height while the carbs off aswell. Clean the air filter though, easy job and can solve what seem major problems.good luck with it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie16v Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 How longg as it been sitting for bud? Might just be that the petrol has went stale. I bought a wee bike in november, Gave it a full strip down, clean and rebuild, Would go more than half a mile. Turned out to be stale fuel and a dodgy earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie16v Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Let us know how you get on. Problem is, its trial and error. Theres never one definite answer to a problem, it cold be one problem, or a combination of loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 If it's been sitting that long it's definately worth cleaning out the carb and the air filter.I just realised you're not a million miles away from me mate, potential future rides spring to mind.

Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Good old fashioned turn it off and on again You might have dislodged something in running it a few times, but yeah give the carbs and air filter a good clean.Have you checked the spark plug isn't too fouled up?
