Hi all,
I purchased a 2000 FE501 about 2 months ago but I have never been able to rev it more than about 1/3 throttle or the engine dies. Person I got if off is no help.
I have replaced the Stator, CDI and put anther carb on it and it is still doing it.
When you rev it up, you can do it fast or slowly doesn't matter, after about 1/3 of the throttle - it will die. when it does it dies completely and doesn't start missing or anything like that.
When you ride it just using the first third of the throttle it runs well with no issues and has no other problems except when you rev it more.
I have run it without the air filter - makes no difference.
Basically you can rev it up hard and when you hear it die, if you back the throttle off to about 1/3 then it fires up again.
I have put another earth strap on - no better.
New spark plug and lead - no better.
I am at a loss to know what is causing it.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
