--- Quote from: Gage on April 19, 2013, 06:24:21 PM ---After some late night googling; my kill switch was working, however I'm not completely sure if me pulling the spark plug boot killed it after it started revving uncontrollably or it just stalled out after I let go of it from it shocking the bjeezes out of me. Would a faulty ignition coil or incorrect CDI/ electrical component make it rev uncontrollably?? I guess the better question is after I get the correct year CDI and a new Ignition coil, what would you check before starting it again?! Because Ive NEVER had anything do that to me before, very very scary...

I missed the part where it ran away.
NO.. the ignition shouldnt cause that.
You have either
A. air leak..
B. fuel supply problem.
Motorrad:
or a sticky slide, throttle cable..
Gage:
Air leak: The rubber piece that holds my carb on, could it have been too loose? Or a case leak you mean? I haven't done a leak down test yet, trouble time finding some one with one. Fuel problem: Okay I was screwing around with the jets today so this is a strong possibility. And this did not happen during idle or low throttle, this occurred at near full throttle. I was going up in jet sizes. See I haven't wrapped my head around what happened or how it could even occur. But from what Ive read online so far my understanding is (the motor was in a lean condition and this made the plug so hot it was firing on its own?) So if the motor was lean, but I was going up in jet sizes... Thinking out-loud: Main jet was sucking too much fuel which made it lean? Float/Bowl fuel level incorrect? Thats all I got!..
alward25:
What r u running for a base gasket? I had an OEM base gasket start to leak on the LH side and it would cause an air leak and would run away.
Gage:
OEM. What are the possible fuel scenarios that would make it run away Motorrad?
