First let me say you folks have been a big help. I've posted before about this trike but not this next problem...
When your riding if you nail it, it studders and bogs out it won't take off.
I have a brand new carb on it which corrected other issues but I went ahead and cleaned it. I have a fuel filter. I did a bunch of reading here and even moved the clip down one which brings the needle out of the carb for more fuel. I have adjusted the fuel screw. Still same issue.
Now, when I close off the choke some and nail it (while parked though) it picks up rpms just fine... Which seems to indicate it needs more fuel...
This bike does make a clanking sound which to me sounds like a chain coming from the motor. My friend thought it had a chain sound to it as well. I have adjusted the valves and the cam chain tensioner.
My thought here is would a timing issue cause this problem for me? I don't have a timing light or I would have figured out how to check it out already.
Thoughts?
