Exhaust Query

Clutch problems ???? or something else, advise needed please

Took off the clutch and managed to change the springs that came with the exhaust using G clamps to compress the clutch & vice to hold in all faces protected with cloths.

Checked everything over including the belt all seemed ok, put it back together and the f***ing thing is running like crap won't accelerate properly so took all apart again thinking that the new spring where the culprit and put back original springs tried again, guess what still the bloody same.

I then thought it was like fuel starvation because when you open up the throttle the thing just wants to slow down and eventually die, so I cleaned out the carb and jet, I have not touched the mixture screw.

The bike its still not running right.
When its on the stand though it does seem to occasionally run a bit better without weight on it, don't know if this would throw some light on it as to the problem to anyone.

Have any of you guys got any ideas as to what could be wrong as this is now becoming a bloody headache.

when you take your clutch assembly off look to see if the clutch pads are glazed, if they are lightly sand the glaze off with sand paper.

The squaking noise, does the bike try to move forwards, like say u stood up and just held on with your hands would it try n slowly pull awau

No the bike does'nt move as you say, it only moves like as normal through light acceleration.

but the bike is running as said before like crap, running really rough as though there is fuel starvation or something. I have just cleaned the carb out with a compressed air line and its still the same. When you accelerate away the bike starts to build up speed then just sort of dies, when you throttle back and the bike runs; open it up again and it dies yet again.

I can't understand it any ideas anyone

cheers

checked the jets i take it?

it sounds like a blocked jet, or, in the case of my mate, a main jet thats come loose and is floating about in the float bowl.

Took the carb apart checked all the jets and blew through with compressed air line then re-assmbled, mixture screw counted out and returned to its original position.

Still the same so I haven't a clue at the moment .

any ideas!

i know its simple but you may have overlooked it....


bad spark?

Hi
It has a good spark, the bike is running like shit, does not want to accelerate properly as I said its like there is fuel starvation for some reason or other.

But I need to sort out why the bloody thing won't run right first to be able to get the performance out of it as recommended by MiNoRcOnFuSiOn, as mentioned earlier I have cleaned out the carb took out the autochoke & cleaned out the airway there as well.

I even took the fuel line off the carb whilst the bike was on tickover to see if any blockages, petrol was flowing with no probs, I then opened up the carb drain screw in the bottom of the bowl again fuel drained down the tube but to no avail.

Any ideas guy's why it wont run properly!!!!!!!!!

cheers

fuel starvation symptoms can be down to roller weight being too heavy. what weight? what jet are you running atm and what is the exact spec of the bike?

I have replaced the rollers with 5.5 as you recommended yesterday, but at the moment I have put back the original 53 jet in the 17.5 dellorto auto choke carb, as my local bike shop has to order the size 62 jet you also recommended as they dont keep them in stock.

The bike is a gilera runner sp50 2005 L/C model no other upgrade of anything except zx exhaust & rollers, I have thouroly cleaned the carb out with a compressed air line.

Thanks

Anyone else got any idea as to what could be wrong the bike, still does not want to rev up properly !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks
