Posted April 19, 20159 yr 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?
April 19, 20159 yr Author 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.
April 20, 20159 yr Author I way 95kg.. probably too big for the darn thing now th Ive gone through all the fuss
April 20, 20159 yr Author I found that the silencer had popped off the carb. I sorted that now I dont have to keep te choke on at speed. shes a wee bit faster and a touch more responsive but not much more..
April 22, 20159 yr Author 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
April 23, 20159 yr 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.
