Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 4, 2012, 5:42 PM Post #2 of 3 (4014 views) Re: engine problem Sign In I don't see the connection and purposely run small engines dry so fuel doesn't mess up carbs - especially seasonal machines. Sounds more like a song and dance to sell a bike?? T nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Jan 7, 2012, 2:28 PM Post #3 of 3 (3989 views) Re: engine problem Sign In Do you mean the engine will only idle or do you mean it will rev up with the bike in gear but not move the bike? How long has this bike been sitting? Old fuel residue and contaminents can plug up carbs, and they won't run at all or just barely. If that was the case a carb cleaning (and syncronization if this is a multi-carb engine) would probably put you on the road. When I bought my 1100 Yamaha it had sat for 2 years and the carbs were so gummed up it would only idle. Try to take the choke off or touch the throttle and it would die. After a clean and synch it had so much power I was almost scared of it. If you worry about the condition of the engine internally, do a compression test on it. If you aren't sure how to interpret the results it might be worth taking to a bike shop and paying a few bucks to have it inspected. Get an opinion of if its worth fixing from an independant party that has nothing to gain from you buying the bike or not.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
