[QUOTE="jeffw, post: 404879, member: 26695"] Bump. This is an important thread and I can't remember the subject being discussed in a while. This happened to me twice at a HS a few weeks ago, both times happened out in fields right after woods sections. The second time was just a blip but the first time the bike stuck WFO. Before I got it killed I remember the throtle action being slack like the carb spring was broke. After the bike stopped it freed up. From the way it felt I don't think the problem was in the cable or throttle tube but rather the slide was stuck. When I got home I took the carb apart and there was dirt on the bottom of the bowl and more oozing into the top of the bowl from one of the vent tubes. I sprayed it all out with carb cleaner, took off the vent tubes, and rinsed them with gas. What I think happened is after the rough woods sections, dirt in the bowl got churned up and some sucked through the main jet, sticking the needle to the jet and holding the slide open. The dirt entered through the vent tubes, I guess. I've heard of people running their vent tubes into a miny filter inside the air box. Any body have any other suggestions on rerouting these tubes? Do they have to be lower than the bowl? [/QUOTE]
