    Stalling once hot, at idle?

    by pontoon2 » Sat Dec 23, 2017 11:30 pm

    It seems my bike will only occasionally stall. Basically if I've been riding for 2-3 hours, and I come to a stop and start idling, it might stall. Any ideas? It starts up fine and runs most of the time.

    Carburetors do that sometimes when you been running hard and come to a stop. If it rarely happens its nothing to worry about.
    One thing you might try is adjusting the idle slightly higher. You can also try a 1/4 to 1/2 turn out on the air screw.
    Otherwise just ride it and have fun.
