i picked up a 98 whizzer a couple weeks ago and it has been anoying me to no end
it just will not stop breaking down i have tried 4 different brand new carburetors none make any difference the bike will run fine for one mile then it will turn off it isnt a gradual sputter like the carb ran out of gas it is like it gives up it is like turning off the toggel switch i pull to the side of the road and i take the spark plug out and spin it over it has spark then i loosen the bowel screw to drain the carburetor and the carb is full of gas so i put the screw back in and try to start the bike it fires every now and then sputters and pops then back fires loudly if i wait 2 minutes and try again it will start and run normal for about a hundred feet then it will die again
it didnt use to run at all i unplugged the voltage regulator and the bike began to run but it runs like this if you put a fuse in the fuse block it will not start and if you plug in the voltage regulator when the bike is running it will die so i know it needs a new one but what is keeping it from running consistantly why would it just die every time
i am at the point where i am ready to take it to the scrap yard and laugh as a bull dozer smashes it into the dirt
the bike had 199.0 miles on it when i bought it now it has 259.8 i probably got to drive it all of 6 miles the rest was dragging it back home after it stalled again and again and again
does anyone have any ideas what its problem might be i know there is not any trash in the fuel tank when i check the carburetor there is no trash in there either i took the cylinder head off and the factory cross hatch is still on the bore and the valves still look new and they do open and shut as they should in the order they should
i am not sure if it is possable but it feels like it is running in and out of time for something to still be getting fuel and spark and not run is a new trick to me and to be honest it is realy ticking me off
