1st, the engine starts and runs great.
today, i rode in 34deg temps, everything was fine, then suddenly i started to get a lot of top-end surging & dropping off, up & down, up & down without end. then...whenever i'd pull in the clutch, the engine would rev to the point of self-destuction, so i'd kill it. it would start right up again no problem, only to repeat the same symptoms.
a check of the carb, line, and cable indicates everything's fine...am i experiencing something to do with a below-freezing windchill factor affecting the fuel & carb? i mean, i'm pretty sure that's it, but has anyone experienced the very same thing? does pre-mix get "gummy" below the freezing point? any solution?
please don't tell me i have to wait for 40deg temps to ride
