Mrdjc Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I know I'm not supposed to use carb cleaner but I had to figure out if it even ran. I was out riding for a good 20 minutes when it just died on me. Sounded like it ran out of gas. I kicked it and it started but wouldn't rev up for me to take off then I died again as if it ran out of gas. Did that 4 more times and now it won't start. I have taken off the carbs and cleaned them 3 times. I've adjusted the air mixture screw to 1 1/2 turns out. The tors has been deleted since there is no box, also key has been deleted. I sprayed carb cleaner in the carbs and it kicks over first kick, only runs for a second. Only done it twice since I know it's not good to do that. I've looked at the wires and they're a mess but everything seems to be right. I've check the connector at the handlebars and the wires are good there. Where do I look next?

sheerider11 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 What's your compression? Reeds look good? Is fuel getting to the carbs? Is your choke cross over in place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfobasheeboy Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hmmm "I was out riding for a good 20 minutes when it just died on me. Sounded like it ran out of gas.

Did you check to see if you are not out of gas? Check the vent, check the screen in the tank and check the fuel lines to see if they are clogged.

Mrdjc Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I need to do compression tonight. Bowels are getting fuel. After trying to kick it 20 times, fuel comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrdjc Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Compression is at 110 and 115. Spark plugs look black. Seems like I'm getting spark from only one plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'd be for looking at the piston/cylinder. Sounds like a piston is breaking down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdjc Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 What makes you think piston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 The 110/115 compression is a tell sign something's going on in there or fixing to, they should wear evenly. Thats not to terribly low if its a factory chambered head? Elevation? Ive seen a handful of bikes go from running fine to bogging out as if running out of gas, to melted piston within a few short minutes. You said it seems to be getting spark from only one plug? How did you determine this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrdjc Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Grr. ... I used the method of grounding the plug with a screw driver and kicking it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
