Just got a very low hours 96 RT100.
Runs great in the low end but lacks power when it revs up.
I don't have a factory service manual yet so I was wondering. Which screw is which on the carb? I want to fiddle with it to see if I can get it to run better. Plus fresh gas, new plug, clean the filter, anything else I should do?
I'd check the basics first-air filter, fresh gas, plug, etc. You may wind up bumping the main jet up a notch or two. The screws on the carb are for 0-1/4 throttle settings (or something like that...). You'll probably get some specific info from your manual when you get it about location and size of jetting, etc., that will help a great deal.
Well we haven't fiddled with the carb yet, but here is the thing. With my 130lb GF on the bike it will not wheelie and it does not have any power at high revs at all.
This seems like it might be more than a jetting issue? Or do these bikes just have no power? If it might be something other than jetting, any ideas what I should check?
