Hi all (again!),
Right as you probably know by now I am looking to sell my bike but I have decided as I can't bring myself to break it I am going to get it running right! Even if I no longer have a job!
I picked it up today from the guys who were going to do the jetting and they said it developed a problem when it was hot it jus cut out! I was thinking, with a little help from DaleEO, that it was the stator!
I have got it home and had a play and I'm not so sure anymore!
When I kicked it into life I used the choke and it started first kick and pretty easily! it idled fine if not slightly high but that how i like it! I let it warm up and it seemed ok but when i tried to ride it it gave up suddenly! I could pull away and as soon as I tried to accelerate it just died... sometimes completely and other times, if I eased off quickly enough, I could keep it running!
I let it idle for quite a while, prob 5 minutes, and all seemed good until I revved it and then it would die! It really felt like it wasn't getting enough fuel and when I tried to ride it it went better with the choke on, but it was still very unrideable!
Does this still sound like the stator? I thought maybe if it was packing up whether the spark wasn't strong enough and just got blown out when I give it some throttle! Could that be a theory? I would like to jus throw more money at it but as I have been made redundant I can't really rely on 'trail and error' as I just can't afford it!
It pops and bangs a fair bit on overrun if that gives anyone any thoughts!
Please somebody help before I jump off the nearest building!! (joke)
Regards
Ben
