March 14, 20206 yr Hi im new to trials but have been racing enduro over the past 5 years or so. Ive bought an 09 sherco, ridden it for a couple of hours and it seems to have an over fuelling issue. I can potter about at 1/4 to 1/3 throttle no issues. Give it some beans- more throttle and higher revs up a hill or even on flat and it starts to bog and blue smoke losing all power and running crap. To me its like a worn needle or the jet is wrong. It takes then a few minutes of pottering about before it clears and runs clean at low throttle. Again if i open it up back to square one and rubs crap and smokes for a few mins. Ive not had carb apart yet but was gonna go straight in with a new needle and jet if there is a recommended jet and needle part number combo thats proven. Any help appreciated.

March 16, 20206 yr The tank is not in the wrong place, your looking at the bike from the wrong side. Guy
March 16, 20206 yr You just bought it? was it running fine before cr*pping out or purchased like that..?
March 22, 20206 yr Author It runs ok most of the time then just seems to get over rich and smokey. Ill have a tinker when i next get to the bike?
April 15, 20206 yr Author Just to let u all know i managed to have a look and the needle had been fitted the wrong side of the retainer so clearly now n again it was staying up rather than working with the slide.
