I just got back from the garage after they fixed the electrics out (it was not sparking) and he said he put the carb back together correct as it was on wrong, any way I drive about 10 miles and it dies- there was smoke coming from the air filter and the engine was very hot, any how I waited 20 miniutes then it started agin yet it's very smokey and some times it feels like it will die but then the power (what little power there is) kicks back in? The guy at the garage says put a new plug in yet there is a new one in there already? Any ideas?

Cheers ears Thumbs Up

When it idles it is fine but as soon as you pull away or are moving it just chokes then die with the odd back fire or two then is very hard to start up again. PLEASE HELP!

Oh yeah and the engine gets hot very quickly, any ideas?

Right I just took it for a spin and it was fine until it gets hot then it starts to pop and die with a couple of back fires, I'm thinking maybe the air filter it blocked - not the actual air filter as I have checked that and it's fine, where can I find the inlet for the air filter so I can checked that is not blocked. Any other ideas why my bike does this and why it gets hot so quick?

Thanks

If the carb has been off and its getting hot very quickly first thought is that the carb isn't seated onto its engine side rubber properly and its got an air leak there, making it run lean and therefore hot.

Could also have too hot a plug in (from memory lower number = hotter plug). Make sure it has the correct plug.

What robby said....

If the air filter was blocked then you'd have more fuel than air, backfireing and overly hot running isn't a symptom of that..

Whoever "fixed" it should be doing it, don't take it back there after they have.

Thanks for the help guys nice one Thumbs Up

I have a update though- when you fire it up it idles fine and when the revs are high it seems fine too, the problems come when the revs are low in first gear, it seems to die and does a few pops out of the back pipe then it kicks back in again and seems fine? Should I check what you guys suggested or have you any new ideas?
Thanks for the help Smile

Right basicly it's ok-ish for small journeys but at low revs it still pops and feels like it will die then the power kicks back in again and it is still getting hot very quickly and when it is hot it will die, I am taking back to the garage by the end of this week but was just curious if you guys had any more ideas?

Yes - Unfortunately if you continue to ride it you will very likely do some serious and very expensive damage.

Tell us about what happened before it went to the garage.

Well basicly it died, it would not start or even spark(yes I put a new plug in). Took it to the garage paid 100 quid and it was fine for 5 mins then this happened. Any ideas?

The problem certainly sounds like an air leak. You definately shouldn't be riding it like this until it gets fixed.
