Ive got a puch murray, e50, high flow filter, boss pipe, 64 jet/14mm bing. It gets into the low mid 30s, but if I don't keep on the throttle a bit at a light, it dies, and I have to pedal start it, which sucks. Any idea why its doing this? Oh, and I have the screw in all the way on the carb. thanks.
dies at stoplights
Re: dies at stoplights
imilar symptom on a hobbit with Leovince and slight up jet from stock. Switched back to original jet problem solved. I believe I was too rich at idle and could lean out enough with idle jet adjustment. Don't know if it helps just some info to help you hunt.
Re: dies at stoplights
If you've check for intake/cylinder leaks all ready you may have leaky crank seals.
Re: dies at stoplights
where might one find these crank seals? just curious for my own benefit.
Re: dies at stoplights
Does it only die when the light is red, or all colors? I wonder why a stoplight would do that?

Re: dies at stoplights
Haha you're a dick.
Oh and my ped used to die at stoplights, it also sucked at going above 15mph. Turns out the petcock was broken.
So you could check that.
Re: dies at stoplights
I am a dick.
Since nobody stated the obvious yet, the jet has nothing to do with idle on a bing. Adjust the needle in the slide (move clip up). You're running too rich at idle.

Re: dies at stoplights
Ok, cool, good to know. Don't know much about bings- I took it apart earlier, so I kind of know what you are talking about eric, but if someone could maybe explain this to me a little more clearly that would be cool. I'm going to check out the wiki, so if it's on there, don't worry about it. Thanks!
Re: dies at stoplights
Move #5 up one notch on #4 and see if it makes a difference. You might need to go up 2 depending on where it is.
Re: dies at stoplights
I bet part #3 is gummied up allows no fuel drawn up on idle.
Re: dies at stoplights
nope, it was the clip. Just adjusted it. It was on the bottom, and I put it on the second notch from the top. I think it works pretty good.
thanks!
Re: dies at stoplights
needle might be worn out...
thats definitely a needle issue.
Re: dies at stoplights
I have the same problem as your describing... and I think my timing is a little retarded. So I'm checking that later today...
Re: dies at stoplights
oh, my bike was still idling really slow after checking for airleaks and such (which i had and fixed...) soooo don't worry about a timing issue until you've investigated all the other alternatives listed above.
