First I should say that I`m not a motorhead. I really want to be , but not even close. I have tried everything that I know to fix it and have spent almost a week on the internet a few hours each day trying to diagnose and resolve the issue myself to no avail. I realize that you guys have lives and have much more important things to do than to help me. By knowing this, I assure you that your help will not be taken for granted and your time and efforts will be greatly appreciated.
The bike cold starts right up without using the enrichener, just a couple pumps on the throttle, hit the starter. Idles smooth, throttle very responsive, ride a mile or two runs strong then suddenly I`ll feel a little sputter or two then it starts rapidly losing power and starts repeatibly surging and backfiring out of the carburetor until it totally shuts down. The time between the first sputter and shut down is between about 30 seconds and one minute. Now here`s the part that to me seems most odd, wait a couple, three minutes and it will fire right back up and runs great for a mile or two then the process repeats itself. Another thing, not sure if it matters , but it seems like the longer I wait to start it up again, the further I can go before it begins again.
Have any thoughts, suggestions, advice etc..? I would bet the farm that I have neglected to include some important information that would help you solve the problem. Please let me know what you need and I`ll get the information to you asap.
Long days and pleasant nights,
Rod
