f3 rant

grrr my F3 keeps giving me problems! I keep having stupid fuel issues.. I know its old but damn I have a new problem like every week. I'm out practicing and 1 cylinder dies then 2 minutes after the bikes dies and struggles for its life to stay runnin. I couldn't even limp it home had to call and get a lift back. I haven't looked at it yet but **** this is the second time its done this to me in a couple months.

I HATE CARBS!

Re: f3 rant

mine was giving me trouble. was idling really rough and just sounded like overall crap... a friend of mine cleaned the carbs for me, since I dont know how to do that and now the bike is running great. he also put new plugs in.

i love my F3.

Re: f3 rant

Re: f3 rant

mine would flood out when doing wheelies which would foul the plugs.

adjust the carbs. You could try tou put a fuel pressure regulator that would keep it from flooding out when on 1 wheel.

Re: f3 rant

Re: f3 rant

messing with float height scares me....I'll probably just keep my F3.. just curious though what is an average price for one?
