carburetor "stuffed"?
okay....a while back, a friend rode the bike all day long with the choke out...sooo the bike got no air.....it wouldn't start after that....but after replacing the sparkplug.....that was covered in goop.....it started....blew out thick white smoke.....and after that starts beautifully everytime!
BUT NOW!!!! The bike is soooooooo bleeding slow that i dunno what to do.....nice in 1st.....okay in 2nd.....upto 80km/h.......and that's it.....can't go faster that 80km/h.....slow as hell......no feel in the throttle.....nothing.....it doesn't sputter or miss, it just doesn't GO!
with some searching...i assume that the carb is dirty and the needles/jets and clogged.
2 questions.....
1) Could it be that i just need to remove that carb and clean it.... could it cause me lack off performance?
2) How hard is it to remove the carb and clean.....got a repair manual....looks concise enough.....but threory and reality is like day and night....any things i should know/look out for,what should i use to clean it with....etc.etc.
Any help would be great! Thanks!
