Carb Prob?

[streetshee]

hi everyone,on the way to work 2day,started her up,warmed up a while,drove off and after about 400 yards,the throttle stuck open,few seconds later shes ok,then got another 400yds and she felt as if runnin out a juice(tank was full),started her again but she will only very badly and low rpm,then cuts out,kick again,starts allways first or second kick but wont accept gas and allways stops after about 15 seconds,she wont tick over on own,ya have to "feather" the throttle back and forth a bit,i have noticed the last couple a weeks that shee started to backfire once or twice sometimes,now would i be right in thinkink the mains/pilot jets are dirty?(plugs are 4 days old.)ill take em out tomorrow and av a looksee,has anyone got any other advice or tips? seeya.

You might make sure that the slides aren't sticking in the carbs & make sure they're in-sync. A clymers has step by step instructions on doing this... Do you still have the stock e-brake & perch?

yeh still got it,have to for the street licence.but its not the kind of idle that happens when the parkbrake is on,feels like its starved ov juice but its gettin through ok to carbs,have just looked at slides and they look mint(2003 shee)not a trace of dirt or damage.tors system is removed i forgot to mention,have motion pro+idle kit.

Try this....follow those electrical wires that are coming out of your stock perch....there's a plug on the left side of your tank where the wires connect...unplug that connector & try it out. If it works, just tape off those plugs & call her good. GD E-brake anyway.

You might pull the carbs and see if there's anything in the bowls, it almost sounds like bad fuel or water in the fuel. You might also drain the tank and check the strainers on the fuel petcock just in case there is a restriction or one has fallen off (mine did and allowed debris to get in the carbs, a chunk lodged in the needle jet and made one carb stick open). Good luck.
