[QUOTE="I<3Dirt, post: 1152256, member: 75245"] I've been searching a lot here in the past 3 days, and found a lot of good information but found that my problem could be a couple of things, and I want to try to narrow it down a bit. The bike is a 1984 Suzuki PE175, rebuilt the engine about a year ago and ran great until a little while ago. I'd had some problems with it stalling after it heated up, but those seemed to go away on their own. But after a trip last weekend it stalled and wouldn't start. So I replaced the plug, filter, and cleaned the carb. A few days after replacing those parts it started up right away and ran good for the few minutes that I rode it around the backyard. I didn't get to fully warm it up,due to the fact that it's fairly loud and the neighbors don't like it.But I figured because it was running fine during that time that it was fixed. I brought it back out a couple minutes later because I wanted to fully warm it up.( the neighbors don't like us anyway because of our quad and dune buggy being run a lot ) Well, it started on the second kick again and ran decent for a few seconds but as soon as I gave a little throttle it bogged down and the idle stared to surge a bit. I got on it and a couple seconds after putting it in first gear it starting surging so badly that it finally died. I can start it up easily but it just does the same thing. Sometimes it won't surge it will just bog down under a load. The couple things that I found it could be is either jetting, float adjustment or the air mixture screw. As far as the jetting, how can a completely mechanically stock bike need a leaner jet if nothing has been changed on it? Float adjustment, can it just randomly come out of whack like that? I don't have a manual and can't find a free one online, so I don't know what the stock height should be, is there a general height that will at least make the bike run? Thanks Brandon [/QUOTE]
