I got a new Whizzer and a bunch of questions

I went across Phoenix to about the only place I could find a Whizzer and bought one today. So I got it home and it would not keep running or speed up. So I called and got some starting points for adjusting idle and air screws. I still am not getting it to run smoothly where it will pick up power and go. The book has no info about making it work. I guess this is a starting point for this.

HI Ok, what year and any other details you can provide?

First, set your needle in carb at middle notch, and let me know

It is a 2008 and I will make adjustments but not for a few hours. Looks like I need to pull the carb off barely to get the needle out. It is a yellow, 26" wheel and stock as far as I know. Cost $1495.00 plus tax Manual copyright is 2006 and tells nothing much, warns about lots.

The needle is in the middle notch and was originally set there. I did have to pull the carb off to get it to clear the frame. Paper says it is a series or model WCNE. Looking on website it must be NE5 model for 2008. Rt side of Carb has KIE HAN cast into it with raised letters. Carburetor has a restrictor plate I was told to leave in for the first 100 miles.

Hi Lenny, you will always want the restrictor in place, just not always with the same size hole in it. It is a good heat insulator for the carb.

IF your bike has old gas, you can have a very bad time, if the gas is suspect, drain it, put it in a car, and fresh gas in the bike.

I've seen new, good-working bikes perform poorly with old gas.

We can go into valve clearances, and other things, but for now I would try fresh gas, and the carb adjustments and see if it will run.

Wow Lenny! I can't wait to check out your new bike. You know, you are gonna make me have to go get one too.

I am off to drain it as that makes sense to my bicycle rider's brain.

Well I got 10 miles on the odometer and there were less than 2 when I got it so I am riding it but I have to do figure 8ś to keep power up. In a straight line it fades to the point of stalling out? When I turn right or left power picks up and I can cruise at 20 easy, just not in a straight line. I think the gas was a little bad but I got new 89 proof. This must be a gimmick to keep my speed down and not pegged WOT.

I do think I will enjoy this ride as it is a better size for my 240 lbs maybe, but I really enjoy my mountain bikes with performance stuff. This is a dog as to handling geometry but should ride dependably when I figure out how to make it go in a straight line. After traffic dies down I may ride out to your house tomorrow John.

Hi Lenny I wonder if your float level is right, or if, like my borther's bike, you have some paint chips clogging the in tank fuel screen (strainer)?

I'm amazed you got that bike so cheap, the Dealer ate the shipping charges and did not charge you the local tax?
