On one of my engines I have a problem that is driving me crazy. The engine bogs down and does not reach its highest RPMs. After a long trip around town it started to act funny last week. Here are the 2 possibilities that came to mind.
Electrical system, and fuel system. I started off by opening the carb and looking inside to see what was going on. I thought maybe the float might be to high so I slightly bent the wishbone arm downward. Then I started her back up It started off fine but after about 25 secs of riding engine began to bog down. Then I changed the carb and the same thing happened. THen I tested the coil with a multimeter and it read 358 ohms. I switched the spark plugs. But something that I found particularly interesting is that the spark plugs were really rich when I removed them, and the needle is at its highest notch. Even more strange was that this never happened before and I rode my bike ALOT. Right now i am bout to go test the CDI, and take a look at the sparkplug again. If there are any suggestions please feel free to assist! Thank you.
