December 14, 200916 yr Hi, I have a 311 which has stopped reving out,it will get to about 3000 rpm and them just bubble as if limited then when warm just dies.Carb and plug are all good but unfortunately this is where my knowledge runs out.I think its electrical but simply do'nt know.PLEASE HELP.
December 14, 200916 yr Gday, does it run OK on the choke and then play up when you turn it off then? Cheers, Stork
December 15, 200916 yr Author Hi Stork,it litterally only needs choke when cold but then only for a split second as it dies otherwise,she ticks over perfect though as soon as the choke is off.I did try useing the choke when she was hot and starting to die but that made it worse and the engine stopped,as this is a new fault(one of bloody many,this will teach me to buy something on the cheap) I still think it is electrical but then i would not be asking advise if I had much of a clue so all advise will be welcome.Thanks.coop
December 15, 200916 yr Author Stork you are a star,got me thinking about the choke and with a little oiling of the plunger we are almost there.(did'nt stop me having to push the bugger half a mile up hill on a boggy field though) a little messing and hopefully i will be there.Thank you very much for the push in the right direction mate.Coop
December 15, 200916 yr Gday Coop, that'd do it - if the choke is not sealing off it would get worse as the bike warms up. Are they a Dellorto? If so, I think they use a needle and rubber seat plunger arrangement - someone will confirm this - it may pay to check the seal is OK too, to make sure it is fully off. Cheers, Stork
