Ive checked the carb, both in front and behind, check the inlet manifold which is bolted on tight, i can not see any air leaks or gaps or splits, so im out of ideas.
I managed to get the bike wared up and adjust the idle and slow jet a bit, but when riding, its still running on. Could this be an electrical issues? Is this the CDi? and whats this? rectifier? |

Could either one of these give me this running issue?

I've not read this thread but that sounds like an induction tract air leak to me. Maybe a sticky throttle cablee. Have you done the starter fluid/ carb cleaner/ propane test?

Start the bike and warm it up. Get it to idle as stable as it will. Spray the intake boot with starting fluid (my favorite) or carb cleaner or a blast of propane from an unlit hand held torch. If the idle changes, usually faster, you have an air leak. This is very common.

ok, will try that thanks.
so am i just checking from the carb to engine? or do i need to go further towards the airbox? surely if there was a leak before the carb, it would not effect the carb as that in itself adjusts how much fuel/air goes into the engine. |

Correct. Between the carb and the engine. I think this will be your problem.

I agree with Doc.
You can't determine if there is an o-ring problem where the intake tube meets the head, unless you remove the intake tube. That was the very concern with TurboT's atv.

i cant recall if there is a gasket or rubber O ring between the intake manifold and engine, but i know the carb has an O ring to the manifold. Will a paper gasket suffice? thats all ive got to hand to help seal it.

A second o-ring is a better choice, but that's IF the groove is too deep.

ive an idea, i will fill in the groove with some setting gasket sealer or paper gasket, then put the O ring back on top. I dont know what the size of the ring is and dont know where to get one locally.

even a hardware store should have o-rings take the old one with you for the correct size diameter and thickness

Are you in the US, kevshek? If so, you can get a decent o-ring kit from Harbor Freight tools for cheap.
