Reply With QuoteCheck that carb boot.
So last year the blast I picked up for my wife rode good.
I put stabil in the gas put it on battery tender and left it in the garage.
So I got out the blast and she started right up I rode around the block pulled back the garage and shut her down. Next day she started right up I rode 500 feet and then she "ran out of gas". I had a full tank. So I changed the plug. and she started right up no choke at start up just starts idles low and when you give it throttle she bogs out.
Any ideas what may be going on?
Check that carb boot.
i did and do not see any crack or rips. if it idling and i hit the boot with carb clean if thats leaking the idle should change right?
Correct it should. Your main jet could be clogged man. I'd pull it and clean the bowl, and jets.
Don't touch your carb!
Try seafoam in the tank and run it through.
seafoam would take for ever since the bike is non ride able
in current status.
ok installed the super boot. same issues!
Any other ideas? Im going to check my grounds. the only thing is usually it idles really high when warming up then idles down its not doing that.
Disable all safeties. Flip center diode in fusebox and cut and twist kickstand safety wire together. THey often cause this. Best to rule it out.
Try riding with your fuel cap cracked to see if your vent line is clogged.
If it sat for a year with gas in it, it's very likely that something brass is gummed up. It doesn't hurt to take the bowl off and check that the main jet is clear. Don't disassemble any part of the carb any further than that.
+1 on checking the bowl/main jet
