Hi,
I'm new here. I got my motored bike about a week ago, 2nd hand. When I accelerate it sounds like 40 chainsaws are being revved at the same time, so I decided to do some fiddling to see if I could get it quieter. Big mistake.
I changed the rich/lean setting to leaner, but when I reattached the thing and tried to drive it I found that I had no acceleration, so whatever I did to it has messed it up.
It will start fine but when I twist the throttle nothing happens. I've taken the throttle cable out and re-attached it several times but to no avail - still no acceleration. I wish I never went at it.
I am certain I have put everything back the way it was, and I have even checked online tutorials about installing the throttle cable so I'm sure I have it in right.
If anyone could give me some clue as to why the thing might not be accelerating I would appreciate it massively.
Evan
