If you ride your bike in the water and mud it need 10 times more maintanance. Maintain it and you woun't ever have problems.... Quote
tithead Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Posted January 25, 2004 i do lube the cable. i do it every time i go out. what do i do! Quote
fixitrod Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 This has been posted a 1000. The stock carbs stick when playin in water. The exact cause has not been found. It's probably not the cable. The stockers just don't like water. Quote
geaux 4 it Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 It sounds like the slides start to stick in the carb body when the water splashers on them.Kinda like the carb body starts to sweat from cooling down from the water making the slide stick. Quote
streetshee Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 na na na,the exact cause has been found,and by me,put 2 hose clamps on the choke tube between carbs(even put a very little bit of silicon gaskett sealer as well),also fill the choke puller cap with silicon based grease to keep wet out,works wonderfully,my shee lives outside and i ride every day,every weather ,and since i tried this i aint got anymore probs. seeya.
