Little problem


T/A

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

 

Could. 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?
