At fixing this bike

As you know my bike is poo-pooing me at the moment, and you never should poo-poo a poo-poo, but that's a different story.

The low-down is that the bike will sometimes start (cold with aid from the choke) seem to run ok while idle, but when you put the gas on, the power goes down and/or it cuts out.

I think the problem is that the bike keeps fouling the plug (carbon fouling I think).

Any advice, and ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers

She's got a fuel blockage somewhere like a jet or something. It actually means removing the carb and taking the float bowl off the bottom, removing the jets and blowing them out. A very simple (don't drop anything for fucks sake) and good maintenance step to learn.

Standing there going "I'll fix this bastard!" holding the throttle on the stop while the poor thing coughs and farts will not fix it. And don't tell me you haven't tried that, I know you young people, you've tried it.

Why ask for help if you aren't willing to recieve any? From here it sounds like all you need to do is remove the carb.

**Indiana_Jones** · 24th September 2005, 17:36

Magua here, we've taken off the carb and are attempting to clean it.

**SuperDave** · 24th September 2005, 17:44

You can buy my FXR in November if you want Indy

**Indiana_Jones** · 24th September 2005, 17:59

Magua here again, some pictures of the bottom of the carb and the diaphram. Looks disformed to me, source of indy's troubles? And Superdave, how much do you want for the fxr?
