ocassional bog.. water in float bowl?

once every now and then my bike like bogs. when i try opening it up. if i let go of the throttle it will tikck over fine tho so im pretty sure its fuel related. i was just wandering if it might be water in my float bowl. the only thing i have done recently is used a bit of gasket sealant around my airbox to help keeep the lid nice and tight on there. might this have got sucked up thru the airbox though?

 

wont be water related, probably running a bit rich

 

Either too much or too little petty is getting through mate.

 

well i done a plug check and it was like sandy orangeyish? ive ordered a whole new airbox with filter screws everything only 17quid so i didnt think it was too bad.

 

probs heavy rollers combined with poor jetting

 

nothing to do with rollers or jetting has been the same ever since ive owned it. oh well ill post an update after new airbox is on to see if its still fucked.

 

LOL :rtfm:

 

Does your bike ever work?

 

Sounds like what mine had just not as extreme, mine turned out to be poor jetting, very very very very poor jetting like a hole the size of a pornstars ass hole

 

didnt know u liked gay porn ross evey aerow owner will feel like there rox is boging. Maybe clean carb? Make sure u clean the jets gd

 

Well hes has worked longer than yours...

 

nothing to do witth jet size or rollers trust me on this one i think its a dodgy airbox so i bought a new one. but it might be dirt in the carb cos it only bogs occasionally like once a day or so. and yes mehmet my bike has done well really.

 

Mine worked fine standard lol just when I put a 70kit on the stock crank my problems started

 

update! i took apart my airbox and cleaned my airfilter today. dried it and put it back into the airbox. i screwed it up tightly and my bike ran fine. i rode to my matesd house which is about 5 miles away and it was fine. i left it there for about hour and a half and went home. after about 30 seconds of riding the bike started to bog. it would idle ok (low tick over speed) but still stayed alive. if i gave it the slightest bit of throttle it bogged. i ended up pushing the bike most of the way home on tickover. but about a few hundred metres away from my house the revs started picking up again and i was off. i showed my dad and he said its deff a fuel problem. im pretty sure i have water in the petrol or perhaps dirt or something or a blockage in the lines. but what i dont get is it only happens occasionally. however today it was much worse. anyone know what it could be.

 

float ??

 

do you mean as if its sticking or?

 

yeah or pin come out or someshit lol

 

ok well i know nothing apart carb parts. am gonna take it to my yam dealer to get it sorted

 

or wid it be an easy job to do myself?

 

ok well i reckon it might be that the float is sticking so if it happends again im gonna give the bowl a tap wid a screwdriver handle and see if it makes a diff. cheers kyle
