#496808 Dollarman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 carb or fuel issue 1 Year ago   Well its been awhile but I need some help, I have a 00 roodie and the bike has performed flawless for 35000 miles, I have installed cobra pipes and barron air filter and bike is jetted , These items were added at 5000 miles, as of late the bikes seems to have a very eratic idle when warm and sometimes will idle down and stall , after this happens it is real hard to start it seems like it has to much fuel and blows black smoke out pipes. any help would be great.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496824 Spydr (User) Let's Ride !

Those are the first things that came to my mind. The more experienced guys will ring in soon, I'm sure. Don't worry, they'll figure it out.   Logged     Welcome to my NightMare   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496850 espressodude (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 229 Re:carb or fuel issue 1 Year ago   You might have a stuck float needle, letting fuel flood the carb and intake. I had a similar problem and ran a few tanks with sea foam through it cleared it up. The reason I knew was that I had the carb off to fix an air leak on the intake and my intake was full of fuel. Some others will be along to give better help.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496864 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

Battery wires tight and clean, bad fuel? water in the fuel, clogged fuel filter, spark plugs and wires tight, air filter, choke closing all the way Check ONE AT A TIME!!! If fixed after checking these you are done. If not dive into the carb check the float level jets etc. I bet you got some bad gas.

Be careful with the float, and don't over tighten the screws that hold the float pin, and seat in place...snug is good. We had a member recently , say that his 0ring on the outside of the seat had deteriorated. If that happened, it would cause the bike to load up with fuel as gas is able to slip past the seat. Are you running Seafoam or something like it in your fuel?   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/29 09:28 By SKWEARpeg.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
