checkster Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Took my kid to the track yesterday and his bike started bogging real bad. Figured it was just loaded up so i pulled the plug and kicked it a few times. Cleaned the plug and it ran fine for another 10 minutes or so. Bike idles fine and even runs about to 1/4 throttle but when you gun it it dies and starts back firing through the silencer. Figured i would take the carb apart and give it a good cleaning and do a pressure test. Crack seal was leaking on the flywheel side. I know air leaks are a big NO NO but do you think this had anything to do with the back firing and bogging? Cant get the damn float to stop sticking either.....I will have to figure out the float issue as well but one thing at a time. check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I don't think the crank seal would cause backfiring. Possibly an air leak, have you checked the reeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULLET~BOY Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 (edited) did you try a new plug ? i would check the carb mabey its gumed up or the main jet is cloged.... air filter clean ? Edited April 26, 2004 by MULLET~BOY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkster Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 filter is clean, carb jets were not clogged, and the reeds looks good. didnt have a new plug on me at the time, so i just did a quick cleaning up of the fouled one...... check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
