My sputtering problem

[Steve Crutchfield]

I just about scratched a hole plum through my head trying to figure this out. My bike just kept getting slower and slower. Finnally noticed that when i twisted the throttle my choke lever would raise up and choke the engine. This resulted in some serios sputtering and a slow ride. All I had to do was remove my breather and tighten the nut on the choke lever. Seems like it's always the simple things that illude me. Now I am going to attempt to find a plug wire & install that.:)

Thats a great post. Glad you got your Riquimbili (motorized bicycle)running right. Your right, it's always the little simple things that will get you.................

This is definantly a tinkering type machine. I have had a lot of fun riding it to work. Sometimes I get all the way there and back.

I used to have a Quad that did that...I found that the choke was so free that the vacuum would just suck it down...you'll need to stiffen that choke some how. And if the choke is not so free...then I have no ideal

I just tightend the nut that holds the choke lever. Made it more stiff. Know all I need it to help the nut behind the wheel.

I Had The Same Problem But Only Happened When I Hit Bumps
