October 20, 20196 yr Hi, my son just bought the above bike, we went to practice today and it was fine , when he went to get over something bigger it bogged, badly..I had a go and when I wound the throttle wide it bogged like the brakes were on. We went back to the van for a head scratch and fitted the quick action from my sherco ( white tube, one that came off was black ). fixed !!! now I am glad it is but I cant for the life of me see why. We tried everything to make it bog again and it wouldn't.. any ideas ? cheers
October 20, 20196 yr My guess would be that a bit of dirt was blocking the main jet and it no longer is. Can't see the throttle being relevant.
October 20, 20196 yr Author I know, I thought that, but it was as clear cut as slow throttle...bog...quick no bog. I gonna swop back to see...the bikes haunted !!

Regardless if you are encountering a carb problem best to strip carb and clean just to be sure. Kehein? if possible ride with a fast tube.

Yeah , we were rushing a bit , I will look into carb/jets etc. Having just got the bike we wanted to see how it went etc. We bought it from a friend so I will ask if he had any issues. cheers all.

October 21, 20196 yr Great carb,more susceptible to dirt or incorrect tuning than a dellorto but better when right,much more precise and smooth.Need to keep the air filter clean too
