Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   I'd bet money with the HC you sucked water into the carb. Drain the fuel bowel and put some HEAT in the gas to get rid of any moisture. Really wouldn't hurt to take the carb bowel off and clean it out real good.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #325134 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   VikingWarhorse wrote: Erbman02 wrote: I would check the simple things first as others have suggested, gas filter, spark plugs, spark plug boot resistors, pump, maybe bad gas? can check for water in carb bowl, and tank as well.\ was thinking the water thing too.....rode in a hell of a downpour on A1A last night well, easy enough to drain the float bowl, drain into a jar, let it sit a bit, see if there is any separation. Just be careful of tightening the drain screw, I've heard of a few who over tightened and cracked the bowl   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #325305 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Gold Boarder Posts: 907 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   Ok...pulled my hypercharger of and cleaned it all up...drained the bowl...seemed all ok there.Poured some seafoam (which I have used regularly for years) and have let it run a bit off and on throughout the day as it cant be ridden. She still fires right up and idles real good. Sounds great until you start to roll on the throttle. You can get it to roll on slow and it still sounds great but as you give it more and more throttle it will sputter pop and die about 1/4 way thru the throttle. Would think that bad plugs wouldnt even let you get that far. Fuel pump seems to be working fine..dont smell like its running rich.....maybe if i kick the neighbors dog i will feel better LMAO j/k   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access. #325306 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4199 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   This might be a long shot but did you check to see if you are getting a good squirt of fuel from the accellerator pump? Also make sure the slide is lifting properly. You can raise it with a screwdriver (I wouldn't do it with my finger in case of a backfire) And roll on the throttle if it works OK you need to check the diaphram for rips or leaks.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/11/28 15:57 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #325311 Violett (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   I had a crack in my vacuum line from the manifold to hypercharger that made my bike run bad once, you might check that out for an air leak.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #325371 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   davej wrote: This might be a long shot but did you check to see if you are getting a good squirt of fuel from the accellerator pump?

Mine was doing the same exact thing and it was the accelerator pump not squirting like it should. Easy enough to check with the HC off.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #325399 JEastonjr (User) Drive for the greater good.

I found that with the choke full on it would start and idle; but if I touched the choke to push it off she would quit. With it idleing on full choke it would quit if I touched the throttle to give it power. She would sit there and idle fine with full choke, but that was it. Called for a rescue mission. At the shop found the low speed jet completely clogged! With the jet cleaned she ran like Singer; Now with a screen in the tank, an in line filter, and a screen at the carb inlet HOW DID THAT JET GET CLOGGED!!!

Fresh Boarder Posts: 55 Re:ok...a bit puzzled 1 Year, 6 Months ago   If she runs on choke but won't take throttle, you likely have a clogged jet or two. If you can get her to run as long as the throttle is open, then the idle jet is probably plugged. If she idles with the choke off but won't take throttle, then the main is likely clogged.   Logged     \'07 Road Star w/Champion Trike Kit, 05 FJR1300, 94 K75RT Charles Potts   The administrator has disabled public write access.
