Recently I noticed a fuel leakage from the carburetor so I drained the carb bowl and I didn't have another leak. Then just yesterday I was at cruising speed when suddenly my bike started jolting and jerking back and forth. It's almost as if the fuel intake is messed up because it randomly just speeds up and slows down rapidly even when I'm holding the throttle steadily. It's very weird and it only happens when I'm at about half throttle or more but any lower than that it doesn't do that jerking movement. What could this be? I've been searching for a thread that explains this but I haven't found any so I decided to post one myself. One thing to note is that I have a zip tie where the fuel line connects to the carburetor because it loosened up and it slips out so I tied it down with a zip tie. I've had it there for a week and it never gave me problems so I doubt it's that. Any suggestions? I'm 16 years old and I built it myself :) thank you in advance God bless :)
