Title: Mechanically Declined
Post by savagethumper on 08/16/05 at 20:37:38

I'm not too mechanically inclined, so I need some pointers from those who are. I have a 2001 with 10000 plus miles on it. HD Muffler, K & N air filter, and stock carb setup. (as far as I know) I don't believe the previous owner touched the carb. It starts and idles fine, and it runs OK, but it is kind of stuttery at low throttle applications. If I pull the choke out one notch, it runs perfect. Also, it acts like its out of gas when I run it with the gas set to "on". If I put it in the PRI position, it runs fine. Help.

Is the must run on pri a new problem?

you need that 152.5 or 155 jet - is the brass plug still covering the idle mixture screw?

Well, new or not I guess it's the same area - if it just bang started doing the out of gas on "on" - there's two lines on the petc0ck - the one going straight down is fuel to the bowl the other line that comes into the back side of the petc0ck is the vac line - check this line - take it off and see if it has gas in it doubtful - check it for any cracks or badly flared ends - wet your finger cover one end and pull a vacuum - does it stick to your tonge?

if that hose is fine - and was on tight to start with- seems to me the diaphram inside the petc0ck could have went south - awful new bike for that

Thank you, Reelthing, I'm gonna try that right now. I'll let you know if that did it.
