Hey guys yesterday i cleaned my carburater and i tried riding it today and it goes around 20 metres and stalls then turns off when i give it more acceleration
i'm using 50:1 like always (i acidentally wrote 25:1 in my previous thread)

Here are the pics of my carb being cleaned

BEFORE

AFTER

All thanks to

AND Shawn

Please, any suggestions on how to fix it would help!

im dying to ride my bike rite now but its still stalling and i tried loosening the gas cap when it was stalling but that didnt fix anything :(:(:(

Are you experiencing fuel coming out of the overflow line? When you cleaned the carb did you also remove the float bowl and check to make sure the float isn't full of gas and that the float forks are also clean?

if the float bowl is this

then when i was taking my carb apart that thing had a lot of gas and i emtpied it
and the second time i went to take it apart it was full of gas
but its clean althot it seems to have a lot of gas in there

ok forget about the carb and try re-gapping the ignition. it if the gap is to big "even a tiny bit to bit" the ignition will miss fire and cause the bike to stall at mid to high speeds the gap is around the size of a buissness card

Maybe the spark plug BUT...

I suggest ensuring your float (the tube or 2 hollow floats) don't have any gas in them as that will weight down the float and trick your engine into thinking it doesn't have enough gas, thus the overflow which bogs the engine and will cause stalls...

Worth it tho too to check the spark plug gap as without that firing up you won't have any luck...

Cheers! Good luck!

ok one problem I can see in that picture is that your fuel valve is in the off position....try putting that straight in the air so it looks like this " | " insead of "-"...make the white valve thingy go straight up

StreetRacer · 08-05-2006, 04:01 PM

also make sure when you re-built your carb that that little pin thing is attached to the float arm or you won't get any fuel in the carb

i dont know if u did or not but i would also remove the jet...(the gold lookin thing in street racers pic).....remove it (both pieces) and make sure u can see through it.....u may have to blow it out if its clogged!!
