Well, my first real issue.....
Today, when i went to start my bike, i followed my standard procedure. turn the gas on, hold the prime button for about 3 seconds, then tap it about 3 times. choke to 1/2-2/3. pull....pull...pull...pull *POW!*...and smoke around the carb.
It did this about 4 times before i got it started...and when it ran it was sputtering and hit/miss. If i let it run for a few seconds with some throttle, it seems to clear up a little bit and will run fine.
Do you think i have some trash in the filter? maybe in the carb?
what would cause it to backfire like that?
