Hey All,
I have been reading as many threads as possible on troubleshooting BS38's. I am still struggling.
So i appeal to the forums expertise.
- The bike kicks first time no trouble
- Give it a little bit of throttle it sputters and dies
- A small amount of black smoke comes out of the right carb
- The spark plugs are black indicating that it is rich/flooding
Steps i have taken to solve the problem:
- Disassemble both carbs and thoroughly clean them using carby cleaner (followed a youtube instructional on this)
- Checked for dirt and grime blocking jets
- Checked for air leaks in the diaphragm
- Checked to ensure the float height is correct. As far as i can tell it is near exact to the recommended height.
- Checked for perished gaskets and seals, all appear to be fine.
- Re-synced the carbs using the "dead cylinder" method.
- Checked petrol is flowing freely to the carb.
Any help or advice would be great!
