[QUOTE="Westex, post: 44826, member: 21046"] I had what I thought was this problem earlier this year. It was in February and we were at the first enduro of the year (Renegade). The bikes had been outside all night and it was very cold. I started my son's TTR to let it warm up and then I started my 98 220. As soon as the bike started it went to full throttle. I immediately killed the bike because I didn't want it to sieze. I messed with the throttle and started it again...... ..same thing, the engine was revving. Now I was starting to panic because the race was going to start soon. I was convinced that the slide was sticking so I took it apart and found nothing. Then a friend suggested I take the bowl off and inspect everything there. This is what I found. There was a layer of ice 1/16" thick covering the bottom of the float bowl. A small piece of the ice had broken loose and was partially blocking the main jet. I cleaned out all of the ice and the problem was solved. I've since talked to people who say they've had to take a blow drier and thaw out their carbs. This same problem has killed many pilots of single engine aircraft. Ice forms in thier carburators and kills the engine. I believe also that most small airplanes have carburator heaters built into them. I have also seen a small amount of grease from the air filter get sucked into the carb and block the main jet causing the same problem. The bike is running super lean but it seems as if it is stuck at full throttle. Anyway see what you think about this and try to remember if it was a cold morning when this happend to "yall." Happy Trails, Keith ------------------ When I'm not riding, I'm thinking about riding. [This message has been edited by Westex (edited 04-15-2001).] [/QUOTE]
