runaway carbs

[AKheathen]

anyone narrow down exactly what makes the carbs runaway when they get a little wet, or has condensation inside, from sitting overnight? the slides don't seem to drag/stick at all. could it be freezing? getting annoying, but it does go away with heat, like if i ride through a river, it only lasts a few seconds, but can take 5-10 min after a humid night

i run an open air box so i know its something to do with that

good point, there.... maybey my biiet adapter isn't sealing up good, or the outterware. but i'm just wondering what makes it runaway

i try to wheelie over the puddles.....

if you can get the front wheels up you'll be fine....

once and a while when i just plow threw the puddles i get the bike to run away... but like i said before i just play with the switch turning it off and on untill it stops ..

I've got the exact same problem and would like to know how to fix this. I run with a lid/no snorkel and everytime i hit a puddle remotely hard the carbs start stickin. Weird thing is as soon as I let the clutch out and start driving they seem to 'unstick'. For the most part it only happens when the clutch is in.

put your airbox lid on
