Steve -
Exactly what happened to me a week ago; new electrics, K&N cone filters,
will start and run on the choke but runs crappy off the choke, carb
adjustments don't help.
Absolutely guaranteed to be old gasoline. Drain the tank and float
bowls and fill it up with fresh gas and the problem will go away.
There's not enough combustible vapor in each squirt of liquid going into
your cylinders for the bike to run right.

I made the mistake of getting home early yesterday and fireing up the Ambo for the first time this spring. I ran ok when I put it away. Over the winter I put in a new Bosch Blue coil, a voltage regulator(old one was rusted away) and a set of cone type air filters. It started right up then fouled pluggs. Changed plugs and she fired right up again. once it warmed up. It ran crappy with the choke on and almost wouldnt run at all with the choke off. It will only stay running with the choke on ! Carb adjustments wont cure the problem. Is changing air cleaners that sensitive to Jetting ? camp mass 70 Ambo 71 Ambo 75 BMW R60/6 |
