boot to reed cage gasket
Foxx4Beaver:
I'd pull the carb and be sure the slide is going all the way back down too...
and be sure the float height is set.
Foxx4Beaver:
check your cable routing, be sure there's no tight/stretched spots especially when turning the bars left and right.
and check the adjustment screw up at the throttle housing....you should have no more than an 1/8" of throttle free-play when adjusted correctly.
mikectanker:
What do you run for coolant? Did it freeze by chance and blow a gasket out?
Happened to me when I forgot to drain the cooling system before winter once.
I switched to regular antifreeze after that
1FAST450R:
Sorry guys. got busy.lol
i pulled the carb and everything looks fine. the slide goes all the way down and no tight spots on the throttle cable.
I run engine ice coolant. it is kept in a climate controlled garage so there would have been no chance of freezing. looking like a leak down test for me.
Foxx4Beaver:
yeah, a leak down would be your best bet...
base gasket looks good?
