Got a '87 T5 classic, 172 malossi, 21t cosa clutch, sip road XL, standard carb with 122 main jet.
was on a run on Easter Monday, the run was about 80 miles. At the start I replaced my Cdi unit as there were a few problems with cutting out around 5600 revs. Problem was cured and scoot ran brilliantly until the last 10 miles, I'd been sitting at a constant 50-55 2 up for 5 miles and came to a junction to slow down, I eased the throttle off, the bike seemed to make a bit of a 'burbling' sound as the revs slowed down. The bike then stalled and it took a while to get it going again. When I did I had to keep the revs quite high to prevent stalling and on taking off it needs to be revved quite high. I got home, stripped the carb out ( I've now done it 3 times) and cleaned everything. I got a new plug too. I started the bike and adjusted the idle speed to about 1200 revs, it sounded fine, I pulled the throttle back and revved it and it sounded smooth but if I opened the throttle gently about an eighth and the bike just dies. I can't understand it, it had all the symptoms of a dirty carb or something loose but unfortunately it's not helped. I've tried adjusting the air mix screw for hours too but it makes no difference. Anyone any suggestions? The kit and clutch has only done a few hundred miles and the exhaust about 100. I had fitted a pm tuning Rev counter the night before the run but with the bike running so well for the first 70 miles I doubt the Rev counter is a factor. I'm getting to the end of my tether with it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
