teeth Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 ey up Been out on the Beta for a bit tonight, and have a small problem occur The bike started fine then with a little speed (10mph or so) developed a timely 'tick' which makes me think it may be something on the chain BUT as this was going on the bike started going funny & cut out. Someone i spoke to at swaine was telling me Betas may tick when running low on fuel as he said this the carb peeeeed fuel out of the overflow! Now this is my first Beta, only ever had GasGas' can anyone shed any light on it? thanks Elliott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 did you check if you had any fuel left.. did you run on reserve.. if the bikes running out of fuel it will normally rev a bit or 'fluff' ( when it happens you know whats happening) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the carb off , clean thoroughly with compressed air and try again. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
