[QUOTE="lin842, post: 1223949, member: 79597"] I know this is probably a really dumb question but here goes. For the past two weekends The yz has been running really crappy. Last weekend I found out my V3 reeds were wore out so I put my old reed block in with an old set of boyesens. I got the new V3 replacement reeds and put them in just in time to head off to the track. This weekend the bike ran like crap again and after pulling everything apart several times and trying different stuff I discovered the powervalve lever had broke and the powervalves were not working. I went everywhere looking for a lever but no one had one so we traveled 500 miles for nothing. Someone at the track suggested to wire the valves open and run it that way which we tried but to no value. It sounded like a fairly good idea but it would cut out everytime in the long straights of when we needed power on the large hills we had to climb. Last week the track was really tight and not as wide open as this track which is probably why I didn't notice it as much there. The bike had great power in the low to mid but just died on the long straights. I guess my question is what would happen if you did hold the valves all the way open and not let them close? I couldn't get it to stay open because the wire I used was to light to hold them open. I mean, I'm getting it fixed I just wanted to ask in case this ever happened again. [/QUOTE]
