3rd Cag problem!

[Sulph]

Or is it 4th? fuck it.


Here goes:


I get it going, the engine runs fine, i can rev it fine, but once i sit on it, the engine cuts out after about 1 or 2 seconds.

Someone 20kg lighter then me did it, and they went for about 50m before it cut out.


im 69kg, she was 51kg.


Any advice?

I pumped up the tires last night as the rims were almost touching the ground, and it seems that ever since then something has happened, but the tires cant affect this, so im confuzzled.

You both need to join weightwatchers Sorry

Sounds like maybe an electrical cable being stretched, doubt putting air in tyres woould be the cause

[sathid]

or possibly fuel line or air intake being squished/pinched/blocked?

[Sulph]

Yea, im going to have to have a better look tommorow, not fussed at the moment.

Definately look at this.
My dad tells a story (a lot) about when he was about 21 having a scooter (it was the 60s) that would do the same.
Run fine until you sat on it then it would run for about 30 sec
Turned out to be a fuel line pinched when the suspension compressed under weight.
I know the motor is not suspended on the swing arm on a bike but this must be something similar

alternatively, check that all electrical equipment is securely fastened. Long story about a kx80 with a loose CDI (or something. lol) that would stall around left hand corners, and wouldn't kickstart.

have you fixed your float bowl leak?

if you adjusted the float wrong it may be starving for fuel

[Sulph]

Havnt touched the float, didnt have a need to.

What pressure did you pump the tyres up to?

[Sulph]

40PSI, But it should only have been 30-32PSI.


I still doubt this could be a problem.



*Edit* For my 16th, dad gave me a $250 budget to spend on what i want, i havnt spent it yet, is it worth bringing the CAG into movement systems and getting the whole thing looked at, fixed, and pretty much restored?

[Dejavu]

Spend the 250 buying another one so u got heaps of spares
