Kyle: i did thought about something like that. It would explain why it just start happening from nowhere. I have to admit that the gas smell might be a bit of paranoia (?) I mean, when something goes wrong then you start paying attention to all details.
Joey: As I said, the bike idles just perfect, but it does takes few tries to start. I forgot to mention also that I need to give it a lot of throttle as well, otherwise it won't come on. This, as many of you probably know, is the opposite of the NH fashion. Normally, if I give it ANY gas while pushing the start button, it will not do any good. Graham: what would be the idea of using the Seafoam? are we assuming it might be just dirt carbs? why would this problem appear so suddenly? Kurt: I also thought about gas leaking. It is being seating on the garage for about 3 hrs, just when to check and I see no leaking of gas or any other thing for that matter. I just want to make clear that it doesn't seem to have much problem going fast. I was doing about 90 mph coming back from work with no problem. If I rev high from a stop it does helps. I thinking something like what Kyle suggest is going on. Javier.
