Looky what I got me hands on!

[Ragingrob]

Alright fuckers... Check this out!



Also have the chain on it and all... It's fucken mint to ride haha! Revs bog down if you're not easy on the throttle though, so I've just gotta sort that out and then it'll be sweeeeeeeeet!

Define cleaning the carb... did you remove the jets etc?

I opened carb, took float out, spraying carb and float with carb cleaner, wiped all clean and shiny, and put back together.

How do ya get the jets out? If I get them out do I wanna blow through them an spray carb cleaner through them to check they're not blocked?

Yeah so it revs all the way out but not if you give it much gas at all, it just bogs down if you gas it.

Did you make sure all the passages are unblocked? There are more than just the jets.

Didn't look all that much. I'll put the carb off again over the weekend and have a thorough look and blow everything out.

[Squiggles]

Yep, strip it all down

[Ragingrob]

Alright...

Stripped carb and cleaned it good and proper, adjusted float by 1mm haha to match what the manual says, and removed petrol tank and lines and blew them out and got crap outta tank.

It still bogs down completely and dies if you give it any decent gas, in saying that I got up to like 60kph down my road... Not bad for a bike that ya can't rev!

Now, it revs much more freely when it is choked, like almost revs fine, though under load it obviously doesn't run amazingly well with the choke on.

What would this point to? So, when there's less air it revs freely... Meaning that when the choke's off there's too much air getting in? Or maybe there's not enough petrol getting in to match the air?

One thing I've though about but haven't really touched yet is the main jet, by turning this I can let more or less petrol flow through right? Making it run rich or lean? So I can turn the jet to let more petrol through to better the ratio of gas to air when not choked... Am I thinking along the right lines?

Cheers!

Bro you should've seen the smile on my face! It doesn't even smoke or anything lol.

Last time I took the plug out it was dry (thank god) but charcoal black, I should know what this means but I don't lol? Does it mean it's running rich already?

Haha... Well I'm free tomorrow until mid arvo, or I can be free from mid arvo, whichever suits, just got a game of tennis sometime.

Even though I can't rev the bike, I've already taken it paddock bashing So you're more than welcome haha! I had the biggest grin ever pootling around pretending I was going fast, just wait till it can rev properly

when is mid arvo?

horrifically rich

when is mid arvo?

Can running horrifically rich lead to bogging down under gas?

Photos, pssssh use your imagination! Na bike's away for the day, I'm off to a wedding

Well I can either be free till like 3 or 4pm and play tennis then, or I could play at 1pm and be free from like 3pm.

I'm just so stoked the thing's already going haha! So far it's cost me like 60 bucks for a farm bike

[motorbyclist]

it's flooding.

Well I can either be free till like 3 or 4pm and play tennis then,

sounds good - we'll see how tonight goes

[Ragingrob]

Sweet well gimme a text ay...

Otherwise... What do I do to cut the richness? Lower the jet?

[Ragingrob]

Well here are two very average photos of the sparky, camera doesn't wanna focus on it lol... But yeah the tip is pretty black.

What are my options if we think it's flooding under throttle?

- Re-jet?
- Adjust air stop?
- Adjust throttle needle?
