I am not sure whether the problem is carb or pv related, today the bike started first time and sounded great (rhs KIPS cover removed, arm operating smoothly). Took it out on the road for a test and it pulled my arm off in first and second, then died in third, back to the same problem????
Seen a guy on the road who was convinced the he had exactly the same problem and it was carb related (in his case his pilot jet had come loose), so took it off and checked it over. Couldnt see anything obvious but I did notice that the fuel valve seemed to be 'loose' in its seat, when I removed the valve it was moving up and down freely in the valve seat, is this normal?
Also we found out that the overflow outlet at the very bottom of the carb was blocked so cleaned it out. Only problem is that when I started it up it was worse?
Its seems to run great for aboout 2 mins, then dies. The guy with me thinks its flooding itself. This leads me to think that if the revs are limnited by the carb, then the bike will not get up to the revs it needs to operate the pv? therefore the pv will not operate either
Any more ideas appreciated
