thumps Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi i have a problem and i would like to get it sorted for tommorow.Well last week when my dad was riding his sherco at a trial and the bike kept cutting out as if it was short of petrol or something.It would happen just as he was about to set off into a section like when there wasnt alot of revs.He was trying to keep it going but then it would just dye.After it cut out he would have to kick it about 20 times and it would fire up then be alrite for a while but then cut out again.Also it was alrite when he was flying across fields inbetween sections so it cant be short of petrol can it? We cant think what it can be. Any suggestions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Obvious things to check before anything else are: Air Filter Fuel Filter Spark Plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I Have the same bike myself. 1. Change the plug. No change:- 2. Rev it up high for a few seconds. No change:- 3. Buy a Dellorto Carb kit (that covers the PHBL26). Get the Carb out. Strip it down and clean it ALL out with compressed air. Replace all the gaskets and o-rings you can identify. Handle the float and float needle with care. Do not bend the metal alignment stops on the float. If the Carb is currently oily/dirty outside you may also be having problems with the float needle. But try the above first, as it's just going to have to be a process of elimination. Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 The fuel filter mentioned earlier is part of the fuel tap,it goes inside the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
