One-Mik Wonder
JUST like that.
Some of you may have followed my conversion to a single Mik 36mm roundslide. The bike was running better than it ever had just afterward, late last season, almost dialed in, and then came winter. So, the bike sat with a full tank, and stabilizer.
Twice - the second time being today - I fired her up and let her come up to temp. She came off the choke and idled fine, so I took her out to the curb today and was getting ready to take her around the block, when she just shut off.
Long story short... she'll fire right up with some choke, but even while holding the throttle a little open, off the choke, she'll stall. Every time. Fires up again on the choke.
Pilot, right? That's my guess. But WHY, all of a sudden?! Good lord... the carb is barely dialed in. What do I do in this situation, with a Mik 36 (other than kicking the stupid bike over in the street in front of the neighbors)?
Thoughts?
(This is rapidly becoming no fun any more.)
