let me explain the situation:
i just installed new carb slide diaphrams and carb holders, it was running OK before but the idle would hang and i had a crack in the holders.
after the new parts were put in the bike fired right up and seemed to idle much nicer. the throttle response was 100% better.
i rode it for a day it was fine, the next day i went about 20km on the highway at speeds of about 100kmh and it purred along great. i stopped for a train passing and shut off the bike for 5 minutes. I restarted the bike via kick and it started to run crappy, ie. popping and sputtering and wanting to stall out if i didnt keep the revs up there.
i switched to res. fuel no change, gas was full, bike was hot but normal..
i hit another stop sign and it stalled. after that i could get it to idle but any amount of throttle would kill it instantly.
after repeated attempts of trying to get it rolling it eventually just wouldnt fire or idle at all.
my battery was really dead at the time and i had been using the kick for the past few days. (lights arnt hooked up yet either)
any ideas on why it was running so nicely, and all the sudden quit on me? i did the basic checks..
starting to consider trading it because summers are short here and i just want somthing to ride.
