TOPIC: bike cuts out at idle Forum Tools Post New Topic Show latest posts Rules

#235739 Apache Dave (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 bike cuts out at idle 2 Years, 6 Months ago   i have a 2006 silverado and when i am at idle and crack into it it stalls and sometimes actually quits running. it will also do this sometimes when i come to a stop light and pull in the clutch. if i run the choke out a quarter it will not do this. i have been told that i might have a dirty jet. any suggestions   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235740 thomasp99 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 96 Re:bike cuts out at idle 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Very possible - have you tried the easy stuff like fuel treatment? Seafoam http://www.seafoamsales.com/motor-treatment/index.html is a good one. Also, how does she run while driving at road speeds with choke open ?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235741 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Re:bike cuts out at idle 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Usually a bike that will only run with the choke on has a clogged pilot jet (from my experience).   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235744 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

Idle set too low? Does it do it when cold or after fully warmed? The stock carb does not like a real fast blip of the throttle either, especially cold. The slide on the carb moves up by vacuum, a real fast turn of the throttle sometimes doesn't allow the vacuum to catch up as quick and not as much gas get thru.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235788 Apache Dave (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:bike cuts out at idle 2 Years, 6 Months ago   doesn't really matter if the bike is warm or not but the bike will run with the choke out a quarter not all the way out. i will try some seafoam this sounds like the general consensous. i tried some gas treatment and carb cleaners before. thanks and if you think of any thing else let me know.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235801 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

There are gas treatments and carb cleaners, but there is only one SeaFoam. I found out about it here and have started to use it in all my gas engines, mowers and weed wackers, leaf blowers, car, truck, and even in my boat Great stuff!   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #235806 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3809 Re:bike cuts out at idle 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Apache Dave wrote: doesn't really matter if the bike is warm or not but the bike will run with the choke out a quarter not all the way out. i will try some seafoam this sounds like the general consensous. i tried some gas treatment and carb cleaners before. thanks and if you think of any thing else let me know. Did this issue just start? Did you do some work on the bike then it started this issue? Is idle set correctly? Could be some dirt in pilot jet and no cleaner will get a piece of dirt out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235808 sta-lor (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 40 Re:bike cuts out at idle 2 Years, 6 Months ago   had similar problem last year caused by idle speed being too slow. try increase on tickover setting on adjuster knob   Logged     phplIduRGPM   The administrator has disabled public write access.
