NC24 (top end sluggish and drinking fuel)

Post by paul nc 24 » Tue Jul 21, 2009 7:21 am

Your expert advice is once again called upon.

just built a new 24 had some trouble getting her to fire up so systematicly changed the parts from my running bike to the new one started with my carbs as i know there set up ok and not to sure of the new ones then the electrics coils, leads,cdi ,etc all off my good bike still no joy only when i checked the plugs i found they were wet and not gapped correcty so a new set in and two turns and she fires up.
sound so i took her home last night and there is a major lack of power through topend very little throttle responce from forth gear on after 8000 rpm ?.
also it is drinking fuel like mad.
whats causing this ? can anyone tell me what ive done or what to check/sort first.
many thanks.

Too ruch mate? All boggy and doesn't want to rev..

Hows your airfilter? whip it off and test it then - if it gets better then you know you are too rich.

Have you thought about rebuilding the forks? :poke:
