Ayesully810 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm having some issues with my new ride, maybe you guys could chime in and give me your 2 cents.. ill keep it short and sweet. 1. She starts on the first kick no problem, but once warmed up, She doesn't start that well until several kicks and giving it the throttle. Sputters on the powerband and not pulling that hard once I give it more throttle (4 mil with redline port job.) idles a minute or less before she turns off. Plugs are dark and wet. 40:1 mix pump gas.

Larry's Shee Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 If it was a sudden or somewhat sudden change it's not jetting, except weather related. I suggest checking everything with the fuel system. Then check electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 The only thing that was sudden was, not pulling like it should on the powerband, which is obviously my biggest concern. Everything else (plugs, not starting well after fully warmed up) is not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 My gues is it wasn't put back together correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I cannot comment on that.. I just got a few weeks ago. This was my third time riding it, it seemed to run well the previous 2 times I ran it. It had been sitting for the past year though according to the guy that I bought it from. But the issues that are new that I stated above ^ just started yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 My gues is it wasn't put back together correctly Idk if this has anything to do with it, idk why it would, but before this started happening (sputtering and not pulling like it should on the power band) I was in the trails about 3 miles from my house and the silencer came loose from the header and fell off, so I had to ride all the way back to the house with the silencer off the header. After I put it back on is when this issue popped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Check compression. Owner after me did pop the reeds and did put new Pistons in it. Check compression and report back. Also check pickup gap between stator and pickup coil. I have wasted a pickup before... Should be the gap of a biz card. Check spark plug caps too. Good luck. Jetting is fine. Little rich but safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayesully810 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Quick update. I went to check the compression today but didnt have time to take the tank off and check the coil because I had to leave for work early, but I did check the plug caps, made sure they were real tight and then let it idle for a bit. It did idle but not that strong AND the left side is not getting nearly as hot as the right. I could keep my hand on the pipe without it burning my hand but couldnt keep my hand on the right pipe because it was too hot. Left side was sputtering during idle as well.

sleeper06 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Only reason I said that was I knew it popped once before . Jd out of curiosity which side popped before and did owner really fix the issue or just change parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strm Trpr Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 are you using fresh fuel, same fuel octane, same pre-mix oil and pre-mix ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
