June 30, 200917 yr 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. Thanks
June 30, 200917 yr 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
June 30, 200917 yr Author it was repacked quite tight. maybe thats the problem might unpack it and do it again. would this make such a differnece?
June 30, 200917 yr yes it can, needs to be everywhere in the silencer but pushed in firm not tight, snugs the word
July 2, 200917 yr Author 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?
July 3, 200917 yr Author just cleaned carb. it appears a little better but not 100% strange. i was told it could maybe be the stator? any way of checking this? thanks
