NHRA3299 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Hi guys, got a problem and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Problem started with the throttle sticking so i took off the air filter and noticed that only the left carb was sticking open ever so slightly, but only while running. The slide is not sticking at all and moves perfectly fine when not running. So with the air filter off i took it for a test ride and....problem fixed! Put the air filter back on and it would stick again. The air filter is clean so it seems to me that the problem has something to do with intake vacuum sucking the slide to the front of the carb. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote
tdod101 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Have you taken the carb off ? Maybe it's cracked somewhere Quote
NHRA3299 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 ya they looked fine but i will double check that Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Just a thought, might check the vent hole on the top of the slide...make sure its not covered by the bracket that holds the cable on. Quote
NHRA3299 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 i looked the carb over really good and didn't see any cracks Quote
tdod101 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 the carb could be cracked? Ya never know, shit happens Quote
87sheerips Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 take some emery cloth to the slide and make sure there are no burrs on it. Lube it up a bit with your 2 stroke mix oil. Also make sure your choke isn't on, maybe its not your slide sticking? Quote
