sup fellas? haven't been here for a while....

I see the TN homepage changed a bit (don't really like it too much but a change is nice and I'll get used to it eventually anyway)

anyhooo...I've always had a prob with my carb flooding on inclines when I park with the nose down...now it's gotten worse
it stutters when I'm pulling off from a stop and after some hard driving and I stop and switch off, it gives trouble to start back up!

any idea what it could be? or how to run my own diagnosis?

Might be a f*cked up float, check that out.

thnx...I just adjusted the float position and the idle screw and drove it around a bit, so far no probs (no stutter when I pull off but it's just a teeeency weeency bit more sluggish)...mmm...hopefully now I won't have to clean my exhaust tip so often anymore too *heh heh heh*

... a bud of mine who got the same thing said it's the check-valve and that he used to flood nose down on inclines too b4 he changed his...I'll try parking it on the hill again and see if my adjustment did anything b4 I consider changing the valve or float or anything.
