Engine four strokes then dies

Sounds like it's flooding.

What would the cause be and how can I fix it?

What size jet are you using? stock? Perhaps the float is not working properly. Does it 4 stroke at low end or only when you get up to speed? I would try a smaller jet and see if it continues.

It's all stock except the intake. Carb is clean and is all working, float is all dry inside, and it only does it when I get up to roughly 25-35mph. When the clutch is disengaged it can't rev high like the choke is on.

When it dies, is it difficult to restart or will it start right back up again?

It would start right back up.

Update everyone! I put on a HP carb and new throttle cable, -BUT- even with all the tentioners spaced out as far as possible, there is still a lot of slack in the cable. Any ideas?

And it's still four stroking, but I have more jets at home.

 

[Tyler6357]

Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's flooding, it's possible the float is too low in the carb, like it's not filling up enough. I would go with the new carb.

the right jet is usually somewhere between 60 and 70

Sounds good. When I ride home I'll find them and switch it.
