Hey,
I was out riding last night and all the sudden the engine, rather than making it's nice hum, starts making a loud "popping" noise with every stroke? I pulled over and took a look at it, and it seems to be coming from the actual engine, not the exhaust.
It only happens when i'm pulling the throttle, not when i'm just coasting or put the clutch in and idle it.
The bike still runs, and it got me home alright, but it sounds like ****.
I'm not sure
1. if it's bad to run the engine like this, and
2. How to fix it/what broke.
It's a dax 70 cc engine, fairly new (almost 2 gallons used but only a hundred miles), and I had started to be a little more free with open throttle.
Tried calling Dax but his office is closed for a week.
Any help/ideas??
