bike running shite

Post by diesel »

ok, ive sealed all possible airleaks with quality sealer etc. new plugs, oil , leads fuel etc. my prob is when i open the throttle , say 1/8th of the way ( if that far ) the engines burbles and bogs down but if i then open it up it picks up fine. its just when i hold speen on slight throttle it does it. soundslike it on 3 cylinders but picks up fine. Any ideas guys?

well mine were 40 odd including P&P, i got them from ebay tho.

You dont need any adaptors mate, its just a nipple underneath the inlet that one of the vaccum gauge pipes slip on. See my guide in the workshop :smt001
