big problem

BansheeRider · 11-01-2008, 03:09 PM

got the bike together, ran fine, took it down the road, died about 1/5 mile down. tried to start it, but it just bogged, gave it some gas and it would idle up for a second, then bog, and eventually wouldnt start.
so, i got home, cussed at it a little, and cleaned the carb thoroughly, started perfect, 5 seconds later, it runs bad again, i will give it gas, it will slowly, terribly rev up, then bog back down...
im going to check wiring, but you guys have any other suggestions?

the idle sounds like a lack of fuel, make sure the lines routed right, the filter clean, make sure the bowl fills up right, then id look at the air filter

red wire was unplugged, thank God!
runs great now!
the bowl filling was the first thing i checked, and i got covered in gas
just gotta get used to 2 wheels again

yeah, it was hard to get used to, especially wheelies!
i kept feeling around for a back bar to put my foot on, lol. jumps still feel real weird, the bike feels paper thin.
im just glad i got that figured out,
i just remembered the old saying...
"if you cant fix it with a hammer, its an electrical problem"
