Hey y'all! Going to try and make this short, but give all the details!!!
Last night heading to the local moto shop when my throttle started to get stuck at high revs/speed...usually deceling from 4th. Landed me in a few sketchy situations near intersections but luckily made it to the garage. Looked over the bike and throttle cable seems fine, moves nicely, doesn't stick. My choke has been an issue from the start and immediately pops back in the second the bike vibrates. Used brake cleaner to check for air leaks, none. Turning air/fuel screw wasn't doing anything. Decided to pull the carb and make sure all the insides are working. Things seemed fine (other than what's listed below). Put the bike back together and it ran decently...a bit "blippy" while in 1st/2nd... then I road 30kms home, with 90km wind gusts!!! I want to say the bike ran fine but to be honest, I couldnt actually hear the bike or feel the vibrations due to the wind storm I accidentally found myself in. I also had to "kill switch & cruise" numerous times due to those strong winds. But the bike got me home so I "assumed" things were decent.
Today, I decide to take it out again...starts right up, sounds & feels like it's normal thumpy self but after 10-15mins or so gets really "blippy" in 1st & 2nd, almost lightly pulsing...after another 10mins (if that) the throttle starts to rise & vibrations go up. I'm stuck at an intersection I know pretty well, so I pull the choke to see if it slows the Revs down (like it did yesterday) but instead it kills the whole bike! Turn everything off, then back on again...try to start. Nothing. Try a few more times. Still nothing. Hop off and jog the bike to the gas station down the street (yay light bikes!!!)
Takes a few more tries, plus a 5min shut off and chill, and it finally starts up! I make it home, but definitely felt lucky!
Here's the bike info (I got it like this last fall) 93 53200kms (the 200kms have been the last few days) Emgo pod air filter
These past few months I have: Raptor 660 swap New battery New sparkplug---Prior to the changes I did, it was blacksoot in colour....I havent checked the new one yet (totally forgot to when I had the tank off last night, duh me!!!!) Carb complete teardown & cleaned x 4 (all this past month, one being yesterday) When taking out the fuel/air screw the spring/oring/washer get stuck inside Main is 152.5, pilot is 55 (was thinking of putting the 52.5) Have the air/fuel mix screw at 1.5 turns out, seems happy there Oil change (x3 since I got it cuz gas kept going in my oil)
Not sure about cam tensioner-ill check & measure this my next full day off!
SO....basically with my minimal knowledge I know I need to check my sparkplug & possibly change my pilot jet? Is there something else I need to be looking for? I gotta be missing something because the bike is just acting so weird & "seems to me" it's a fuel starving issue?
I'm really trying to do a week long bike trip in June and ole rob roy (my bikes name) is cramping my style!!!! (Not his fault the PO was neglectful)
Thanks in advance for any advice!!!!
