GT5 Super Rat bogging issues

Just be lucky you are not one of the hundreds who have seized motors for his defect.

my post came a little late huh.

I will recheck the carb but I haven't ran into any issues of the carb coming loose so far.

now are we talking about the seal where the intake manifold fits into the carb, or the more square one that seals the bottom half of the carb. mine leaks fuel like an S.O.B. . i pulled it apart, checked it over, then cranked it down. still leaks. not the biggest issue, but annoying and messy.

The seal for the intake...

I have some that don't have a vacuum leak but the still rev like a screaming Banshee and many times no matter what I do I cannot bring the idle down. If I do, just a few minutes of riding it will be back to the same.

i'd much rather have my good'ol speed carb on it. intake is so big that it leaks air too

 

[driftology]

That's the bowl seal. that shouldn't cause this issue right. I know for sure I have no leaks there.

I still like my method for loose carbs. Drill and tap a small hole through the right side mounting flange and plastic right into the intake. Make darn sure the carb is all the way on and straight when you drill the hole. locktight and seal a short bolt that just goes into the intake. Now the OEM bolt is just for a seal and your new bolt holds the carb from ever moving to create a leak. Been working so far on three bikes.

If there is gas all the way up past the bowl gasket I think the float is to high or the needle and seat is not sealing

first run with the carb sealed up with the RTV went well. couldn't stay out to long though. to darn cold outside to keep riding.

I found out about the idea reving high, anyway I had a CNS carb not the V-2 one anyway the needle was tapered, so I got a needle out of a NT carb and put it in the CNS carb got rid of the high ideal

My buddy lost a lot of power, it doesent rev as high now, he thinks its the CDI, his kill switch didnt work all the time and now lost alot of power. The CDIs are sold out at Gas bike, he tryed all kinds of things to improve it but no luck, did anyone have this same problem
