Hi guys,
Done a ton of reading through the forum but have just got myself confused,
yesterday my dad and I replaced my handlebars (as they were dodgy) and we put a new spark plug in (NGK b6hs) because the other one didn't look the best.
However when I was riding home I could ride for about 1 km before the engine would sputter a bit and die, then the engine would be extremely hard to get started again it would turn over but have no power. Then when finally getting it started same thing would happen.
Today I had the same issue - ride about 1 km then sputter and die.
I've inspected exhaust - doesn't seem to be blocked.
Also looked at how the fuel is flowing, (I took off the fuel tube which actually snapped just above the filter so it is useless now, anyone know where to get replacement in Australia??) and the fuel trickles out but when I loosen the fuel cap it comes out a fair bit faster.
Do I need to buy a new cap or?
I have had this bike for a week and the amount of problems vs ride time so far is very frustrating.
