Hello again,
I posted originally about 2-3 weeks ago having some issues getting my bike running/keeping it running. From everything said here it sounded like I was running rich and needed a carb tune. While I don’t have a garage or the necessary tools to do that at the moment, I turned the idle up a bit and that seemed to put a bandaid on the issue. I am having a bit of a different problem now though.
When I start the bike, it pretty much fires right up, but there is this weird noise I am hearing, almost like it’s shooting some air out of somewhere. It goes pffffttttt pretty loud but also at random intervals so I’m having a tough time finding where it’s coming from. It also doesn’t do it every time I start it, and will even do it occasionally after the bike has warmed up. In addition to this, the bike is having a tough time staying alive when I come to a stop, it runs good until I get to a light or a stop sign, then the idle drops to 500rpm and I either give it some gas and it evens out then idles fine, or dies on the spot if I do nothing. I don’t know if these two issues are related as the second one seems like it could also be something with the carbs needing a tune.
Any insight or ideas on what’s happening here would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all.
