I bet this has been answered, searched but couldn't find the fix. 97 S3T, forcewinder intake. Ran great prior to.
Will start right up on choke, push off choke - stalls. Turn throttle - stalls.
First I thought it was air leak to carb, put a bit of silicone on gasket and dried 24 hrs, started up - same problem. Any help greatly appreciated. |

Is the vent passage on the carb face obstructed? |

Spray around your intake seals to see if that is the problem. Also a bit of something could be stuck in the idle circuit. |

sounds like carb needs re-jetting
idle jet or low seed jet |

If it ran before the Forcewinder it should run now. Unless you blocked the bowel vent.
My bet it s the low speed circuit, either the low speed screw or the jet is clogged.
Check the intake seals while you're at it. If they are more than a couple of years old, they need replacing.

Hey guys - Was away over the weekend, and did not do anything to the bike. I may or may not get to it this week either??
The forcewinder has been on for 3 years, and it ran great up to now. Buell bert - lol, I wish !! The truth be told, it's not my favorite 2 up ride, and it's hard to get out the garage alone right now. Sometimes it's just that way. Will let you all know how this works out. Thanks again. |

All right WELL. When you mentioned the Forcewinder in the original posting I did not know if that had anything to do with the problem or not. I think we can now throw that out of the mix. |

Yes, I think so too Bert, I read the FAQ on the older version w/ the larger back cut vs. the new one, but mine is the newer version and it ran great for the past couple years. I will post up the findings.
Thanks again. |

Fixed / update - The accelerator pump was gunked up.
I guess it's the gasoline of today?
Cleaned all jets and good to go.
thanks to all - ride safe. |
