Hi folks,
I am a newbie here, but riding my R100RS down Route66. I was hoping to make it to Springfield to catch some of the rally.
However a problem started, and has stopped me in Cuba MO.
As I stopped to look at my map, and then restarted, the bike would only run at idle...adding throttle killed it. A couple of attempts and leaving it idle, seemed to remedy things and I rode off.
I stoped for lunch about 5 minutes later and left the bike for 45 minutes. On returning the bike would not start. It does start on full choke but runs for about 5 seconds then dies. This can be repeated...start full choke, run 5 seconds, stop. If I close the choke early it dies. It seems to be something affecting both cylinders equally.
I took each bowl off and fuel flowed, stopped when I pushed up on the float. I pulled off both main jets. they were clean. No muck in the bowls.
Put ll this back together and nothing is changed...starts on full choke, then dies after 5 seconds.
Any thoughts?
If I can get it to Springfield, many Airheads might fix this.
