[QUOTE="Birgster, post: 26060, member: 20353"] My 01 300mxc scared me this weekend and I'm still puzzled about what happened. Any comments appreciated. I mixed the oil at 50:1 for the first time. My friend and I ran the bike for two hours taking turns on large Grand prix track. Didn't give it a rest. The bike ran flawless when he suddenly shut down and rode the bike back to where I was sitting and watching. He explained that he heard a knocking on the top end and the bike started to bog. I started it and went for a quick ride and the same thing happened. Not a loud knock, but the bog till I let off the gas. Mostly at the low end. We were low on gas, but still crawled the bike back to the truck. At first I thought it was to lean and started to Seize or get hot. At home I went for a top end run and it was running like it was missing then shut down quickly and checked the plug. It was not running lean. No white smoke, nice and brown. I'm starting to think that it was starving for gas and this is where I am a little confused. Will the bike run like **** on reserve or really low on gas? I made all the jetting suggestions from this forum, 172 main, pilot and needle, was 50:1 to lean for the 300Mxc? I checked the main jet, clogged petcock, air filter and could find nothing. It seems hard to believe that heat seize would start after it ran for two hours with no problem. Any thoughts? rb. ------------------ R.B.
