Bike dies when it gets warm
07/26/21 at 19:39:04

Greetings - pulled my Sexy Savage out of storage from the last three seasons. Cleaned and re-jetted the carb, slapped new rubber and a new battery in it and it fired straight up.

However, when I get around 10-15 minutes of city riding (35 MPH top, stop and go around the neighborhood) the bike will slowly die. engine speed slows when i come to an idle, have to hold the throttle up to keep it going, but even this only works for a block or two until it completely stalls out and dies.

If I let it sit and cool down for 20-30 minutes, it'll fire right back up.

Battery is new, spark plug was changed out less than 500 miles ago - it's got me stumped that it's happening when it gets warmed up. runs like a top when I get it going.

any thoughts as to my problem?

Same exhaust.:Sounds like a fuel issue….Are you running a fuel filter.? Also you said you pulled it out of the shed, I hope it didn’t have fuel in it.

what ended up being your solution?

Original petcock. The carb bowl has gas in it when it starts and when it gets hot and shuts off.

Carb was just cleaned and all jets replaced.

Had not considered a vacuum issue since it starts and runs out the gate - anyone know if this can be tested in when the issue happens?

should have clarified - replaced jets not re-jetted. same size jets. not running a fuel filter.

was not stored with fuel in it. I'm a doofus but not an idjit Cheesy

Common occurrence for any one running a filter.
And the extra filter is unnecessary as there's a similar filter in the tank and another in the inlet to the carb.

My bad, the bike that I acquired had been sitting. I had to go the cheap route for now. Do you know what was in the bowl of my carburetor? As well as the line from the petcock to the carburetor ? That cheap plastic filter that’s in the tank. Which I’m sure originally it wasn’t crap however overtime as you well know they will deteriorate. The screen as well as the housing that holds the screen. I was just speaking about my situation.😇 But I followed the link that you had sent me a while ago. I’m trying to do Willys LOL!
