anyone ever hear of a pit bike wanting to breakdown and switch off while wheeling on vertical balance point

 

Ya man u gotta keep the tank full. Whadaya think its fuel injected or somethin?!? Sheesh

 

Keeping the tank full is definitely essential! It might be the carb. Carbs fuction through a vaccum and gravity so vertical may cause carb floats to tip up. Make sure your carb is spotless though. So clean you could eat pudding out that ******. and you'll be chillin i think. Happened on my dirtbike.

 

What pitbike do you ride? If your bike is tuned right, tank is full (at least above half) and your carb and air filter are clean try this;

When you open your fuel shut-off only open it about 1/3rd of the way.

I ride a CRF 100 and the balance point is extremely high. The carb floods with fuel and bogs down the engine making the front wheel come down on low speed wheelies and circles. Running it with the fuel shut-off only 1/3rd open fixes this on my bike.

 

yes we cleaned the carb a load of times and filled the tank and ajusted the float none of this helped ,so then i went to ebay bought a manifold my dad cut it and got his friend to weld it and now it works i ride a stomp 140
