Ttaskmaster Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Are you slowly increasing the throttle, or wazzing it open and expecting a powerful and immediate response? If the former, start by checking your plugs. If they're fine, then your engine is possibly running a little rich and the misfire is too much fuel in the system. Try adjusting the mixture screw on the carbs. If the latter, then you are almost certainly putting too much fuel in the system, causing the misfire. Accelerate more gently.

danzley0 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 tried the carb screw it seems to feel like the throttle is sticky but the cable is moving freely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 What about the other stuff I mentioned? Crap underneath the slider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 24, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2011 You could have an air leak in the manifold seal. When the throttle is closed it sucks air in from there. Did you gasket/instant gasket it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 24, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2011 Crap underneath the slider? Thats tricky, balance and aim are really difficult.... this bike is religiously cleaned everytime after use so no crap in there mate have recently changed the inlet manifold would that change anything? The replacement manifold is the first place to check, possibly a leaky gasket, disturbing the carbs can always bring problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 this bike is religiously cleaned everytime after use so no crap in there mate I mean the throttle slider. The actual plastic sleeve beneath the grip, that the throttle cables attach to. I've known a couple of bikes pick up a lot of fouling in there.
