Still waiting on a reply with the yz.
Higher quality oil and corrected jetting will solve the spooge a.k.a.
dripping or drooling oil from the exhaust. Sorry, you have to start that all over again. But I bet you are twice as fast as pulling the carb than last summer!
Say I start the bike and it is idling. Then I go to pull the clutch in then click down to first gear. It will still go forward if I totally let off the clutch then give it gas but with some bog. Like with any other clutch bike, the bike will just shut off no doubt about it. What could this be?
I'm sorry Chris, I read this four or five times and I'm not understanding, could you try again please?
If you are telling me the bike is creeping forward with the clutch in, you may have to adjust the free-play in your cable.
There should be about the thickness of a nickel between the lever and the perch Before you feel the clutch start to compress the springs. Or Feel the clutch disengage. What may be happening is the clutch is not fully disengaging or the oil is cold and thick and is dragging.
The CB...
Did you remove any of the springs off the carbs? Are you sure the linkage between the carbs is correct.
If you didn't remove any springs, and the linkage between the carbs is correct, you may have to take the carbs to a shop and let them dis-assemble them completely and clean them with stronger chemicals. Your only other option is replacing them....and that may be pricey..
What usually happens is a bike will quit running and the owner will just park it. As the fuel evaporates you have a
gummy residue left over, what you saw in the carbs and what plugs the passageways and jets.
You may want to consider adding a fuel filter to the fuel line as the inside of the tank may have rusted over the years. You add fuel to the tank and the rust particles start to flow into those carbs you just spent big bucks on cleaning.
There is usually a filter on the intake of the petcock or fuel tap that extends on the inside of the gastank.
This will catch most of the rusty stuff, but you can catch more with an inline filter bettering your odds at keeping the carbs clean.
I'm pretty sure the carbs on that bike are Constant Velocity and work primarily off engine vacuum. I could be wrong, but either way if the throttle itself won't return you shouldn't "Push it down hard" so nothing gets bent or broken.
Sorry I can't give you a better answer Chris, I know you guys are doing your best.
Maybe you and some of your friends could make some money helping the old folks in the neighborhood shovel their driveways. Heck, a few more storms and you could get a snowblower and really clean up! Get it... Really Clean Up!
What....Not Funny..?
O.k.....
Take Care,
