wombat Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 ok finally got the bike to run, and run it did!!! did some practice work, then it just stopped..1 kick and it fires back up and off I go again for another 1 minute, then stop. I cleaned out the carby, the gauze behind the inlet too, blew it all out with the compressor, checked the floats not sticking etc. there is no kinks in the fuel hose and its stock tuning. Can anyone help with this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like fuel supply to carb is partially blocked by maybe a fuel filter (carb runs out of gas then slowly refills........repeat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Check your tank vent too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 checked tank vent, all clear, I thought of that as well..no fuel filter as I cant find one small enough!! Its pretty tight under there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-shock 250 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Stator, especially on this model sherco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Ive had teh stator checked out and its ok. Almost imediately it stalls i can re-start it 1st or 2nd kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Swap a stator to be sure, they're intermittent ,temperamental buggers at times . You may be looking at a heat induced insulation problem; very hard to define with a meter so see if you can find a short term donor stator to test.

wombat Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Im thinking it maybe fuel issues here...as I dont have anyone close by who would let me strip their stator out of the bike (Closest 1 would be 200kms away...) Ill look at the carby again. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borus Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I remember putting a meter on mine and it came up good until I start prodding around the "trigger" area and wires leading to it. Then I found a bad solder joint. anyway, I think fuel issues would give you lean running before stalling. Electrical issues simply kill the bike. jmo, cheers, i think there were some good threads on this from years ago with meter values etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
