Running, but has the hiccups
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 8:48 am
Hey everyone, SO my Benly starts right up and sounds great! My shifter rod was bent, so I bought a new one, but my clutch is still a little hard to pull. The inside of the engine is great and the clutch plates are perfect, so I'm guessing it may just need a new cable? Maybe I missed something?
Also, When I put the motorcycle into gear and pull back the throttle, the engine dies. If I put it into gear, not touch the throttle, but walk with it, it will pull a little. If I put it into gear and play with the throttle, it jumps all over the place, Second gear seems to work a little better, but I am still not getting much faster than 5 mph. I'm guessing it could be timing, or valve adjustments, bu these are all just guesses. I have yet to check the timing, which I will do today, but I just wanted to get other opinions too. Thanks!
