Help required
Set off to work today Bike started fine then stated to miss fire when i was out on the road then stopped as if it had run out of fuel Restarted Ran for for a mile or so then cut out .
Started again . I rode it home ticking over and revving but engine very hot . Now I'm at work , Late wondering what to look for when i get home .
Any suggestions would be greatly apricated
I would check for air leakage... connection carburettor cylinder head....if that is not the case....might be some dirt in carburettor? Not enough fuel and too much air?
Just easy suggestions....good luck
Dirty fuel?
What carb are you running?
How are your filters?
Does it flood up/tickle ok when you start from cold?
Although it's tempting to ask for the instant Net fix, there's no substitute for going through and checking all the basics of fuel, timing, ignition etc.
Personally I would start with the easier option of checking the points, timing etc.
Thanks to all , i have not been able to reply earlier because of the I/T issue that happened last week .
It seems possible that the air screw was over adjusted .
I have run it on the centre stand briefly through all gears and seemed ok
Many thanks again
Good news! Check under load and make sure that the adjustments of an air screw are within specification.
If the screw cuts the air totally (full tight) and engine runs still means you have air leakage.
That would be my guess.
