Bike bogs down...

[bass2k8]

Right I have a problem with my bike. I think its getting starved from fuel because I can leave it for 3 secs then go off, then do about 5-10mph for a sec and bogs down. If i leave it for another 3 secs it does the same.

Does anybody know whats going on? What do you think could be causing this? Someone said to me that water could be in the fuel. It was raining, but the garages have roofs overhead, unless some rain flicked off from my jacket whilst I was filling up?

i doubt a few rain drops off your jacket would affect it.

take your carb off and clean the jets. this is more than likely your problem if it keeps cutting out and not getting enough fuel.

or check your fuel line make sure it isnt trapped anywere

redex fuel injector is pretty good i use it often..
yeh could be the fuel filter but maybe worth giving your jets a clean again. what bike is it?

you could try a new spark plug aswell. i had the same kind of problem on my rs125. the spark wasnt burning the fuel quick enough and it was losing power and cutting out. put a new spark plug in it and it ran nice

check the float is in working order and set correctly.

Have you filled up since? i've not had it happen to me and have only heard stories but could be dodgy fuel? and sometimes its just a process of elimination and can't hurt to check the float height/operation.

When it is bogging down does it feel like the engine is getting tight?

I'm not sure about other people but I can feel how the engine is through the grip, if it starts to bog or die then the grip feels tight and not wanting to move.

I have the same problem with my CB125, right now, and currently working through the problems it could be.

Since it is a 2stroke have you checked the oil pump setting?
I've not looked after one for a while, but from what I remember my old bike had the pump set to high and used to foul the plug and make it run like that.

Otherwise it could be electrical, and you could be grounding out somewhere, or your coil is on it's way out.

Before you enthusiastically tear the bike to bits just drain the carb float bowl in case water has worked its way in.
