braddon Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I rode my rev3 yesterday and it ran very poorly. It was like the engine hadn't fully warmed up and there was a general lack of power just the same as when you first start it before the engine has warmed up. I have recently repacked the exhaust muffler, new spark plug, engine oil change, and new thermostat. Is there any way any of this could effect the running of it resulting in this poor running problem? Any suggestions would be worth a try.

the addict Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Make sure you have'nt repacked the silencer too tight, could be dirt in one of the jets as well so good clean of the carby would be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddon Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 it was repacked quite tight. maybe thats the problem might unpack it and do it again. would this make such a differnece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 yes it can, needs to be everywhere in the silencer but pushed in firm not tight, snugs the word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddon Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Nope. I've repacked the silencer again less tightly this time and still lacking power. It's just like it isnt warmed up totally but it clearly is after some time of riding!! Any more help guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
