Title: What do you do witha bike that won't run with a filter...
Post by: makenzie71 on April 26, 2007, 07:51:27 PM
Damn maggot is crazy!  Now the intake I made was HUGE!  Like 150cc bigger than the stock airbox!  With that one she'd run really good up to like 1/8 throttle and flatten out after.  Open element filters and she'll only start up and sputter a couple times and die.  Open carbs and she's mean.

I'm thinking of sticking screens over the carbs and calling it good.

That is how we used to run 2 stroke 125 GP bikes.

yeah it's just that you can't rebuild a 4-stroke with a socket, a pair of pliers, and 6 beers.
