Carolina Spur Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 My baby drag cranks up but when I twist the throttle it stalls out. I had it running fine and then all of a sudden she died at 50 mph and hasn't been the same since. Carburetor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina Spur Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yeah man, just got back home and lo and behold the very first thing I thought ended up being the problem. The 'new' carburetor was in fact a shiny turd. Epoxy holding the float tree together. A silicone gasket goo had been sucked into the bowl and right into the main jet. I had the old carburetor in my follow car and slapped that mutha on. Idles and revs perfect. But here's another thing. This new engine won't get much past 40 mph! I know it needs running in but geez this thing is an oversized moped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina Spur Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Ride into work this morning was fun. She only slowed down slightly on one big hill. Was able to maintain 55 consistently. Feels like she is loosening the reins a bit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I way 95kg.. probably too big for the darn thing now th Ive gone through all the fuss OMG, no wonder the poor thing is struggling, ya fat bloater!!!!! Nah, you're fine, mate - That's only about 14st, which is roughly what I weighed back when I had a Baby Drag. So you weigh 95kg... The bike will handle a maximum of 183kg - That's the total weight of rider, passenger, cargo and accessories, according to the official owners manual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
