yellabanshee Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hey all, I have a small problem......... Went to the dunes this weekend and had aproblem with the bike sputtering and spitting only at full out throttle. The bike iddles perfect, and even mid throttle runs good, just wide open did it. I cleaned the carbs and new plugs...jetted perfect cause it has never done this before with the same set up. Was wondering if anyone had a thought on it...... I did replace the plugs and it seemed to go away, but the returned shortly. I also should mention that when it gets warmer it seems better, when its cold it is really bad.. Could this be a reed problem? They are still stock and it is an 2003. Thoughts Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else buy the same gas. Thats always an option, it maight have been to rich from the weather conditions too, like if it was cold and or even the humidity. Did you try jetting down a size to see if it cleaned up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try jetting down a size to see if it cleaned up Did not try jetting the plugs where a perfect tan, and a little wet.......plus I hav used the same set up at the same place a few times............ so either bad gas, or something else any chance it might be a reed.......would it act like that?

yellabanshee Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 what oil are you running? check the bottle for s.g. disclaimers Whats sg ? I have been running Klotz bean oil for ever.. at about 35-36/1 never had this problem before with the oil mix the bike runs perfect all the time, the only thing I changed was the race gas........... does anyone think it could be the REeds?

AKheathen Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 probably not the oil, then. even though "35/36:1" can leave your jetting alomost right from tank to tank. start with a fresh tank of fuel, and check your reeds. then do a plug chop and go from there. s.g. is specific gravity of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
