i let my brother drive my 350x yesterday and it went fine half of the trip and then it started running like crap. he was going down a hill under compression then he said it started running weird so he reached down and put it on reserve. well at the bottom of the hill it stopped running. i know it has good gas in it and it always has run perfect before this. anyways, i got it to started with the choke half way on. thats the only place it will run and if i try to give it gas it bogs down and it will die. i limped it home and pulled the plug and it was dry and white.

i want to get it running as soon as possible. any info at all would be helpful.

 

check your fuel lines, check your tank for debris, clean out your gas filter, which is built in the bottom of the fuel shut-off line, that dont work, clean the carb.....its not life threating on the bike..

 

here's some words of advice. "dont let family members drive your stuff" i've thrashed my 350x for 2 years now and my little brother managed to kill it in 10 mins.

 

gee, thanks nathan. let me drive hua? howbout you took off on the machine that i was riding? that sound like what happened. i didnt do it.

 

haha lol yeah...i never let my bro drive my trike anymore...once he was driving it and the rear end jus like seized up on it andhe right messed the whole tranny up...and another time he like did something to the electrical[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] where the like noting worked and yeah..took a week to fix lol

 

well, seriously, any advice? we tried to start it again this morning and the same story. nathan just headed down to the shop to try and figure it out. it was running awsome with lots of power, then i was going downhill and about halfway down it started to sputter and backfire alittle so i clutched it and it died. i thought it was jsut out of gas but that wasnt the case. why would it jsut do this suddenly? is it possible that water could have gotten into something to make it run like this? we reely want to get it running right soon.

 

found the problem. the clip came off the needle and the needle droped down.

 

Tell nathan to keep his trike in shape!
