Throttle problem, under 5k blogs.
Once again my lemon forces me to ask for help. i noticed yesterday when i was taking a passenger that wen i was in a high gear crusin at about 2-3k wen i went to open the throttle the engine blogs, and starts sounding funny at the exhaust, as if its not firing, misfiring, backifiring i dunno. theres no power and it kinda stutters, and very slowly pulls. close the throttle to cruise and its fine so i no its carb/mixture related. i did change the pilots back to a leaner setting and no change. diaphrams? main jets?
i no these bikes are gutless under 5k but mine has always pulled slowly but consistantly through all low rev ranges. i appreciate all ur help in the past guys.

id say its because your puting such a masive straine on the engine the revs i found NEVER like to be under 4,000 so why go there? it makes it power in the higher revs.

if its ok when your crusing then stutters when you ask for power its running to rich set them all at two turns out then go for a ride if its still same turn each one in a quarter and take it for a ride again see if its ok its trial and error its upto u it could take some time but if you do quarter turns at a time it you should find a sweet spot if not jets could be to big or pay someone to do it on a dyno can be done your self though

done that its now at 1 3/4 turns which has always bin perfect. iv jus stripped the carbs down for a clean. im removed and checked diaphramgs but need to know if there is spose to be a sealant round these, there was somethign when i removed them.
ye jets n everything has always been fine, this happened overnight, jus the power delivery is crap. im gonna check airbox incase its not getting enough air 2.

no the diaframs dont need a seal just make sure they sit in right with no rips and the little jet is pushed in (the one on the out side at the bottom) also is the choke plunger sticking ?
all you can do is check the carbs over and clean them
other than that check you fuel filters in and out of the tank
if it still doesnt work try electrics just elimination i guess good luck!!!

right good news, getting somewhere! i completely cleane all the carbs, cleaned and lubricated the choke system as u said. cleaned diaphramgs and surfaces, cleaned jets, air ways, plugs etc. n its sparkling.
also i bought new coils + leads with caps the other week, which i fitted 2day. n itsl ike a whole new bike!! it starts and idles perfect!! very smooth now. iv got all the power with no stuttereing, which is good to have back. and as an added bonus i dunno if any of u remember me having that headlight problem, well iv had it since i bout it last august and its solved!! dunno how exactly, either leads caps or coils. but i can now idle my engine with all electrics on and no stalling!!! no more revving at traffic lights!!! yey! FANTASTIC!
