Hi
Yesterday my bike after a 30km run i stop and put to neutral and suddenly it stop...
That happend before too...do i have to worry...to check something?

Sounds like your carbs load up after a run and the motor richens and dies
Take your carbs off and clean them up adjust them. Pay attention to the
idle air screws and float heights. Oh and get a new air filter those originals
dont last forever.
Then check everything else

[emilios]

My carbs are total rebuilt 1000miles before...new float,jets air filter etc..

Check battery connections, fuse connections
and possibly the  ignition switch connector.

Recheck them somethings not set right or done right.
When bikes die at idle theyre to rich or too lean on the idle circuit
 Just MO Shoot your timing too.
Alot of people rebuild carbs and never
dip the carb bodies to get all the crap out  just ideas.

Yeah, but did you do an idle adjustment on them, or were they just set stock? Follow the carb idle adjustment procedure in the manual, on a fully warmed up engine.

[emilios]

Idle adjustment?
Your talking about air screw?

[bistromath]

Yep.

[emilios]

Ok...today i did the air screw adjusment like manual say..
but i still have that problem...i also notice that my carb spitting back when i open throttle quickly from idle..
Do they need cleaning?
Is spitting back and engine stop causing from the same reason?

[emilios]

Ok i will try to tell better what is going on with my bike..
Bike starts easy and runs with choke at idle..after half minute i turn choke off and bike idles well...i run  bike and  works fine..
when i stop after about 20 minutes run..bike idles few seconds and after engine die...i push starter button and its firing again,idles few seconds and then die etc....
I did the air screw adjustment but nothing.
I have to know where to check...carbs?timing?engine?electical?
Please advice

What idle revs you got it set at?

[emilios]

1000 revs if my tacho is right

[bryanj]

Up it 1150 and see what happens BUT set it at that with the engine HOT

[emilios]

Ok i will try that tomorrow and ill let you know
Thanks

[bryanj]

Sorry I meant TO 1150 NOT by 1150, this damn dyslexic keyboard needs replacing

[emilios]
