Lost all power (again)

[Bigredgasbike]

for the second time this month my bike wont idle, and it barely gets any power at all, (i dont know if it blew a gasket or not) can someone help me? this is one of the few sites full of people who actually know what they're doing, if you need more info just ask

Try tightening the cylinder head....torquing the four nuts on top. Oh wait....didn't I already suggest this??? In a roundabout way? ;-)

Make sure you don't have anything in your exhaust(just being able to blow through it easily doesn't count) Try riding without the exhaust- only for a little bit! If your engine is OK, the problem is with the exhaust.

P.S. Riding without exhaust can be bad for the engine- don't do it more than maybe 3 minutes- just enough to tell if the problem is your pipe.

Also make sure your carb is attached securely to the engine. Air leaks cause lots of problems.
