i was riding going about 38 on flat for 10 or 15 minutes, when all of a sudden i couldnt go more than 32, then 25, then it stopped all together.
the problem that i think this could be is the fact that my oil injection is not working, so i mixed a tank and plugged the oil hole in the manifold with another bolt. it ran fine for a couple of days.
any thoughts?
has it started doing it again? or is it still running fine?
Wow, you smoked the engine, keep us posted.
if it's japanese, it's probably not an oil pump problem. i would try another ignition coil/spark plug cap assembly.
its a targa
and no it wont start and stay running...also, when it starts, it revs real high and THEN dies
hows your carb? take it and clean it. and look it over really good
yeah, your fuel flow is restricted
i have a new carb. i did take the manifold off though before putting the new carb on. would the gasket being messed up or out of place be enough to cause this kind of thing?
maybe upjetting? but the guy at 1977 said it was a 68 and should be fine for my setup
I had this happen to me.
On my Honda PA50, I had an engine fouled with lots of crappy
oil, so bad that my spark plug wouldn't spark unless it was revving
really high.
My solution - I liberally sprayed carb cleaner into the spark plug
hole, put clean gas (40:1 mix) in the tank, and used a new spark plug.
I put the old spark plug in some carb cleaner (didn't look too bad).
I turned off the petcock, started and ran the engine at a low
speed for a minute or so to (a) flush out the carb cleaner and the
crap it pulled out of the engine and (b) empty the carb.
I then turned back on the petcock, and started her back up.
I adjusted the idle to my liking, and then turned her off.
I let it run at idle for about 5 minutes, then cut the engine.
Once I was satisfied that it was idling correctly with the the 'fresh'
spark plug, I switched back in the old spark plug.
A couple of quick revs to clean off the old plug, and it was good as new.
Oh - one more thing - make sure you properly tighten your spark plug -
this can also happen if you are leaking compression around your spark
plug.
