Bike running fast revs

[declan]

@scrimsmustang when first started it was perfect but soon as i gave it a nice rev it acted up

[oldman]

Not trying to teach you to suck eggs but is it possible slide binding on carb interior? Just wondered if that might explain the cable coming adrift also?

[declan]

@oldman possibly I just started it up and still the same I did notice the slide was sluggish but it was still coming to rest

[declan]

@declan okay so it’s working now the oil pump had stopped pumping had air in it no idea how but I guess that was my fault i wd40 every cable and after many hours it’s going but the cable keeps slipping out the carb does anyone have a fix for this?

[oldman]

Something must be missing. Can you post some pics up so I can compare with mine? Is the cable new(ish)?

[declan]

@oldman yes was fitted just before I got the bike and pics I can’t do I don’t have an imgur account yet

[finnerz89]

On mine there's a little plastic clip that holds the cable into the slide, it's bright green I think - hard to miss lol.
Or is the cable outer coming loose from the carb top?

[declan]

@finnerz89 that green piece is missing then I don’t remember there ever being one

[declan]

@declan any chance anyone has a pic of one so I can try make one

[ricky0115]

Mine was doing this, turned out to be a split gasket on the reed block spacer.

[ricky0115]

@declan you will never make one unless you have a 3D printer, the piece never moves use a small calbe tie it should do the job

[declan]

@ricky0115 how would I position the tie bud?

That’s really what you need to do it properly they don’t sell it separately.

I was joking about the cable tie!

[declan]

@ricky0115 your jokes are terrible lol

[ricky0115]

@declan your not the only person to say that

[declan]

@ricky0115 just took the part out it already has a notch built in that stops the cable from sliding out so I’m a little confused as to how it’s actually coming loose I’m gonna try a stiffer spring

[scrimsmustang]

@declan

Put 2 springs on

[declan]

@scrimsmustang it seems to be sorted now put a stiffer spring in
