T/A Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just bought a stock 05 shee and was running fine after a few hours of riding then I let it sit for a week and decided to change spark plugs and clean filter..well after I did that things started messing up..it was harder to start and when I was just putting around it wanted to die and it would when I stopped then took awhile to start back up but it runs fine at full throttle..it also backfires occasionally..this is my first shee so not sure what it would be but I'm thinking maybe some dirt in carbs or plug cap is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90Bansheedude Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 When you changed the filter and plugs is when the trouble started? If so, are the plugs the right ones? Try putting the old ones back in, and what type of filter did it have, and what type did you put on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Maybe put to much oil on filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T/A Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Stock filter just cleaned it and I tried putting the old ones back in but it didnt help and I bought the right ones ..do you think it could be a coil but I dunno why it runs fine wide open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90Bansheedude Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 So idle is the only problem and it was running great when you parked it, even at idle? Maybe something plugged up an idle circuit in the carbs. Were you changing the stuff just because you figured it was time, but it was running fine? Did you wash the shee, or change anything else.

T/A Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just some routine maintenance..I started it up today and one of the exhausts is gurgling and not blowing out much smoke like the other one..so I think I have some shit in my carbs..would a clogged pilot or main jet cause this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect the carb on the gurgling side and probably the pilot jet, as you say it runs fine WO, but not at idle and low speed. But cleaning the whole carb on that side would be good. Then see what happens. You have a filter on the fuel line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
