toofasttim Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 If you have a new Sherco or have not yet pulled it apart, check the airhose connection to the carb. I found mine had not been installed incorrectly (whether by the factory or subsequently I don't know) and the adaptor collet was distorted. As a tip install the airhose to the carb BEFORE attempting to install the carb. It's a bit of a squeeze getting the carb and airhose into place but a lot easier than attempting to install the airhose when the carbys in place.

Really, reading between the lines here, I am not quiet sure if this is good or bad. It either means you got a new bike, or have taken up new bike prep to support your drinking habit!

I suspect that the previous owner hadn't touched it mechanically. No damage had been done and it's the sort of prep that we should all do. Actually I was cleaning out the carb and decided to check things out and it sort of snowballed from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh good then, what is it? A '10/ 2.5 or 2.9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
