Rickey Pace Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Easter weekend is over and time for repairs I'm sad to say. So cruzin up sand moutain the bike start to cut out alittle at full throttle. Went back to camp to check it out plugs looked good but put new ones in any how did same thing. The outfiters slid off alittle and sand was all up on my filter. Took them of cards were nice and clean so ni harm done. Cleaned them up relubed up the filters let dry and put back on now bike has hard time running and at half throtle putters like crazy tried driving around the camp to see if it would stop and then slot of smoke and then it died and now that's were I am now she won't start doesnt even try. When kicking both pipes are putting out good compression fuel is good spank should be good. Everyone things its electrical like something rattled lose. Has any have a clue I looked all around and can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnGRbanshee Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 take your filter off and try to start it i have a k&n and ive had something like this happen sounds like your not getting any air. it might have to much oil on it also i had an outerwear once get sealed up tight with dirt but looked to be clean. just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 take your filter off and try to start it i have a k&n and ive had something like this happen sounds like your not getting any air. it might have to much oil on it also i had an outerwear once get sealed up tight with dirt but looked to be clean. just a suggestion I had the same thing happen to me. It was running and then it just got worse until nothing. I was so pissed cause it was only the forth ride on it since it was new. Ran it to a shop and they pulled the outter wears off and it ran great. Yeah lets just say I felt like a dumb ass!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Male Supremacy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 So how safe or unsafe do you think it is to run without outerwears in the sand? I'd think one way, but then the other (i.e. thinking it's not too safe, but then thinking that sand usually doesn't get up in there too much). I just got brand new K & N's and have always ran outerwears with no probs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbanshee Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 It wouldn't be a waste of time to pull your stator cover and check everything in there. Make sure nothing came loose and everything is as it should be. Do you have good spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthemail Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 i dont know about K&N's in sand without bags, BUT for what may get THROUGH them, hell itll probley burn up im sure you could size up some foam pods. i have the toomey intake if your interested, it will need a filter from them.

boonman Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 K&N filters are good for Grandmas grocery getter, and even then, that's pushing. Run Foam filters, and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Did you mean you pulled the carbs off and cleaned or just pulled the pods and looked at carbs from there? May need to get into the carbs, check fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
