3rd piston ring please help

[Zrako]

@declan is there plenty of free play on the lever?

[declan]

@zrako yes mate

[Calum]

Yeah but the load on the clutch in 1st is going to be minimal.

[declan]

@calum so what would you lean to will bad plates have this effect?

[Calum]

@declan Wouldn't be a bad place to start.

An idea would be to see if it pulls fine with no load on the engine.

So first just put the bike on a paddock, start it and go through all the gears. If that works no problems then jump on bike and od the same but keep it part throttle only. No load.

[declan]

@calum I've tried it with no load it works pretty much as it should

[Calum]

@declan With load on the engine does it revs hard and no power. Clutch is slipping then.

Either adjust it or replace it.

[declan]

@calum no it lacks power off the line when moving its decent shift into 3rd the revs die down to a slow idle and you go about 3mph

[Calum]

@declan Nah doesn't sound like clutch then.

Sounds like it's a carb setting.

Take the plug out and have a look.

Could simply just not getting enough fuel.

[declan]

@calum that's what I'm thinking as after I try hit 3rd and stop it feels starved not revving clean and real slow idle but sorts it's self out after a rest I've been doing some tests as it's got an open filter not the box as I have no rubber or filter for the air box but I haven noticed anything by restricting air flow

[Calum]

@declan Sounds like fueling to me mate.

[declan]

@calum I'll pick up a new carb and see how it goes thank you

[Calum]

@declan Just sort heone you got outmate.

[declan]

@calum ive been through it more times I can count and never found any issues it's spotless and as for the settings I wouldn't have a clue I'm guess it's way lean on the a:f screw but it turns off on command when hot using the choke

[Jens Eskildsen]

Sounds rich to me. Lean would cause a high hanging idle. The bike should still rev out, just without much power.

When rich, everything is sluggish, and going WOT can feel like youre hitting a rev limiter, or as if the bike has a restriction.

Have you done all the basics? Fresh plug and clean airfilter? Is your floathight correct?

[declan]

@jens-eskildsen that's a no on the float I've never really done that unless I really need to and if it's rich what do you reccomend a:f screw for move the float pin? Plug is good and filter is good no air leaks

[Jens Eskildsen]

You could remove the side of the airbox and do a testrun and see if its better or worse.
Dont think you can adjust the airscrew enough to sort this out.

[declan]

@jens-eskildsen I have an open filter cone style

[Jens Eskildsen]

Whoa, that opens up another can of worms...

[declan]

@jens-eskildsen that's why I said I was trying to restrict air flow but made no difference
