Idle still dying off

[sammy123]

As far as a burnt valve or air leak at the intake boots or o-rings , I'm doubtful as I would think that would make starting super hard and it would run like crap from the get go. when I had it running fine and out and about last week it started easily even without choke and ran like a freight train in all gears. No hesitation or stumble. Bags of power and acceleration.

It is my understanding that old boot o-rings can cause sporadic, unpredictable results. Before I replaced mine the bike would run great some days and like crap other days. Often, the hanging idle would also get worse as the bike warmed up. It would run awesome for about 30 minutes and then start to act funny. You should change them to rule that out.

Hmm…

Where and in what state is the air filter?

Not in a state, Ontario province, Canada.

Sounds kinda like fuel starvation as well. No inline filters and float bowls are good right? You are turning a screw which should increase amount of fuel but no results.. Throttle cables issues perhaps as well?

Well I do have an in-line filter in place. It is a high flow unit designed for a large displacement Yammie cruiser (the Yammie dealer is closest to me) and I run larger than standard hose. The float bowls are good too. The throttle cable is adjusted properly as well. There is no tightness or binding.

It definitely does strike me as a fuel issue or rather lack of fuel issue. I will take off the fuel filter and try it that way. I put it on as I am paranoid about sediment in the gas as I know I had some floating in my "jerry can" which I couldn't clean out. I have been filtering it through a coffee filter as I fill the I/V so hopefully that is good enough.

Thanks for the input.

cheers,
