blowit Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 When the reeds leak, this allows a "double dipping" situation in where the air fuel mixture is rejected back through the reeds, into the carbs and is charged with more fuel. This over richens the mixture. Very important to have the reed pedals sealing properly. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gst_r Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 well, we don't changed the reeds since my friend is little bit skeptical that with little chips causes the bike to bog, the compression was tested and 140 on each cylinder...i guess we are going to try the reeds and check the stator...any other advice? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 double check the float heights and choke o-ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gst_r Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well the bike of my friend still on the same.....first just seems to be rich.....check compression, change carbs to PJ 34 methanol, changed CDI, Wiring, Spark Plugs, took off the stator and checked nothing wrong......right cylinder was dead, he took it up and nothing wrong, good piston, good rings, any trouble, after it was assembled again......now the left cylinder is the one that is going dead...what do you thinks guys could be the trouble??...

I had the same problem, its the stator. Some stock stators will not fire alky, and will run fine on gas. Try using a stator off a bike you know fires the alky.

AKheathen Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 did you re-gap the plugs for alky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
