my engine dies out at wot, it's really annoying when your bike can't show its full potential, does anybody know what this could be?

Its either lean or rich. if you hold your hand over the air intake holes and it runs better its lean, if it runs without an air filter/cover its rich.

i just covered the air intake hole in the air cleaner housing and it runs great!, so, what do i have to do to fix the lean fuel mixture ( i have a stock 68 jet), and the carb has been cleaned about 5 times.

check for air leaks...... is your air filter oiled

Do you have an air filter?

i have an air filter and i just oiled it, where do you think a probable place for an air leak would be at?

the tube going from the air box to the carb. make sure it is on good

hi, just checked hose to carb and its great, i unplugged the auto choke wire and the bike runs great, is there a permanent fix for this?

Plug the choke back in and fix it the correct way, use an unlit propane torch to check for leaks.

How do you check for air leaks with an unlit propane torch?

u blow it on the the air box, intake, air hose.... any were you think it is leaking.... if the engine starts to rev up when you go over a spot that is were it is leaking

i can't find a leak with the torch, the engine doesn't even rev up when i put the torch straight into the air filter box. Is there anything else that i can do?
