CG mystery ....

[JunglePete]

Hi it's me again...should have got a fireblade !

My Cg now will not tick over and can only be reved using small amounts of choke... when given any throttle the engine stalls. Throttle slide is properly seated on the little pin in carb , petrol getting through. The idle screw has no effect on engine tick-over?
I'm totally foxed by this !!! More help please anyone...

the the bowl off the bottom of the carb and take the jets out. sounds like they are blocked, which means an excessively lean mix the bike will only _just_ run on. adding more air (opening the throttle) adds even more air to the mix and so the engine stalls.

you could check the spring in side the carb slide ,see if the circlip is under the spring.
if it has a 'accelerator pump',a little pump on the side of the carb,check the cables to it and make sure its adjusted.

Giving the bike a good shake,(after cleaning out the petrol tap)then empting the carb drain screw to flush the carb may help.

Air leaks and knacked filters dont help.People forget about air filters being in the equation.
