Banshee_19 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I was out riding my quad today on the trails/mud and all of a sudden the motor revs to its wits end so I shut it off and get pulled back to the truck. Take the side covers off my carbs and play around with it and the slide dropped down. Started it up and it worked fine. Took it for another ride and had no other problems. Now my question is, whats the easiest way to clean my slides? take my carbs right off and clean them right out or would a aresol carb cleaner work( or is that not recomended for a 2 stroke)?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EastCoast Banshee Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 If i were you i would just take the carbs off the bike and do a really good cleaning job. Quote
batoutofshell Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 If they both stuck open I would look at the junction where the cables come together or the single part of the cable for kinks or rust. Spray some penetrating oil down from the top at the throttle. Quote
Banshee_19 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 No, it was just the right side slide that got stuck wide open Quote
Shee-Male Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 aresol carb cleaner will do the trick. Also check the small key in the slide bore, I had one come loose and back out, the slide would turn and get hung up on the idle adjust. Quote
