Bike bogs down after jumps

[mainline]

That won't fix this problem though will it?

[DR]

I don't think so Paul but it'll definately breath easier without it

Start with the simple things Paul e.g. fuel tank breather, fuel lines/filter twisting etc and then work down. Come to think of it when I meet you last time you had jetting problems with that YZ125... Have you been fiddling with the PE175? In fact if it was running fine the last time you rode it and you haven't changed anything you might want to start looking at cracks/air leaks appearing in the manifold area mate!

Have you been fiddling with the PE175?

Don't you trust me Dave

No, haven't touched the PE, it runs too well to do anything to it. The YZ is going good now. Changed the carb specs back to standard (ish) and it's a bit of a rocket. Nothing down low, but that was to be expected.

The PE flat spot has been there for a while, but I've only just noticed it, since I've gotten a bit more confidence and actually started riding a little bit faster. Vandy told me about it at Conondale, but I was puttering around there, so it didn't bother me at the time.

So, I'll up the float level and see if that helps.

Cheers guys

ist set float level 2nd check teflon on float needle

Have you used non OEM Gaskets   Again Paul . .

I forgot to give an update.....

Firstly, I did check all the gaskets Hilly, but they had been laser cut from surplus Space Shuttle insulation so I ruled them out as a possible problem. Obviously Vandy's mate had restored the PE before I got it.


I did however raise the float level a smidge and problem solved!

I should also point out that if the float level was raised a pooftenth (that's half a smidge in metric) more, then fuel did piss out as Doc had suggested.

Thanks guys, all is good with the world again.
