Re: Troubles @ WOT

Anyone else have any input before I tear the carbs apart again?

Re: Troubles @ WOT

youu might have a restricton in the fuel system somwhere,or a vent to the fuel tank not working,if your fuel tank is a non portable,be sure to check the vent ,be sure bugs or debris arent causing it not to function,you may have problem with the fuel pick up tube ,often debris builds uf from the point where the fuel lines exit the tank,next suggestion ,pinched fuel line,bad squeeze ball,/I have wtnessed fuel lines delaminate and cause bubbles inside fuel lines causing restrictions,the fact that you cleaned only one carb.you should always do both,was the one you did dirty to the eye,if so the other likely also,however ,not always obvious,also check if you have clip connectors on your engine for fuel,the oring could be faulty ,pulling air,although when bulb is squeezes an obvious leak would be that indication,is your fuel clean and water free?have you tried squeezing the primer ball as you have the problem,if the cause is a bad fuel pump or possibly restriction ,this will or should eliviate the bogging symptom,if not,likely cause is the carb(s)

Ok, I've gone through both carbs again and checked the float drops and cleaned the other carbs. Turns out my neighbor is a carb guy and helped me work through it. Floats both have the same drop measurements. Looks like one of them was getting way to much fuel. My neighbor says he has the same problem with his bikes when the carbs are getting to much gas. I've replaced dang near all the hose clamps/clips to make sure that is not a problem either. Inspected hoses and they all appear to be ok. Bulb is solid and not an issue either.

I finally got everything back together tonight and going to give it another shot tomorrow. Thanks for the pointers so far...:cool:
