WHATS UP FELLOW DIRTHEADS
I JUST GOT MY 87 WARRIOR RUNNING, PAYED 700 BUCKS FOR HER
CLEANED THE CARB, AND IT WOULD FIRE UP ON THE FIRST COUPLE
OF PULLS. HERE IS MY PROBLEM, SUDDENLY IT WONT LET ME REV
THE THRODLE. IT WILL STILL FIRE UP, BUT WHEN I GO TO GIVE HER
GAS, IT BACKFIRES, SPUTTERS, LIKE ITS NOT GETTING GAS, DID THIS
TO ME BEFORE THEN OUT OF THE BLUE, IT WENT AWAY. NOW ITS DOING
IT AGAIN.I CANT GIVE IT ANY GAS WITHOUT IT STALLING AFTER
IT POPS,SPUTTERS, BACKFIRES . I WAS READING IN A EARLYER
TOPIC THAT IT MIGHT BE A PARKING BRAKE REV LIMITER?
WHERE IS
THIS THING LOCATED AND DOES MY BIKE HAVE ONE OF THESE THINGS?
OR IS
THERE ANY OTHER SWITCHES THAT MIGHT CAUSE THIS??
THANKS FOR ANY HELP
AMYBE ITS SOMETHIG SMALL? IRONHEAD MYKE

 

check on the levers, if it has a sensor it should be on the lever

 

the parking brake is hanging up, check the lever on the left side of the rear caliper.. push it in... then try again... i recommend getting rid of the parking brake setup

 

WHAT THE HECK..... I PLAYED AROUND WITH THE BRAKE AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP!!! I WAS ABOUT TO START TAKING THE CARB APART AGAIN, OR GO AFTER THE VALVES RIGHT ON BROS, THAAAAANKS FOR THE TIPPP!!!! SAVED ME A LOT OF TROUBLE. IM SO USED TO WORKING ON MY HARLEYS, THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP, AND FOR GETTING BACK TO ME SO SOON!!!! IN THE DIRT ALWAYS IRONHEAD MYKE

 

back in the days of points, fire into a carb would mean ignition to early... which would be timing issue
but nowadays who knows
