andilicious Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I thought it would be the stator when hot issue as lean jetting would have caused mechanical damage that affects the engine through it's entire operating range?

lowbrow Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Now all the fancy theories have been dismissed perhaps you'll listen to what I have already told you? The floats became stuck and cut off the fuel supply to the float bowl. It's not common, but has happened to me and used to happen sometimes during the road sections of the SSDT back in the day when most bikes had Dellorto carbs. The remedy isn't generally necessary for a trials bike because it doesn't happen that often, however you can replace the individual floats with a double float assembly (Part No 9010) but to do this you'll also need to change the float bowl. After my Pampera died in precisely the same way as you describe I was tipped off about this problem by a former British Champion and multi SSDT winner. I purchased the double floats and a clear plastic float bowl (Part No 3014909) all available from Eurocarb Limited, and it never happened again. If you have any doubts you could just ride the bike with the fuel turned off to replicate your earlier experience, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you're unlucky or use the bike for your daily commute it'll probably never do it again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andilicious Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm going to go for the ignore it now it isn't happening at the moment approach. After all, it's nearly Enduro season and I won't be touching the trials till November again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Oh another unsolved mystery, Could be all the above. Lowbrow if you turn the gas off any bike, it should quit running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
