So, i took my 750sx to the river for the first time today. Over the last few months i took the engine out and cleaned out the hull, and replaced a few things.
heres whats done:
It has all new fuel and cooling lines, and new primer lines. i installed dual bilge pumps, and a new aluminum bed plate. also installed a crankcase block off plate. it already had an oil block off plate.
went out today, siphoned out all the old gas, and then topped it off with a fresh tank of premix. all fuel and cooling lines look like they are in the right places, and water comes out of the pisser when its running.
so i get it to the water and get it started and let it warm up and it starts acting funny. it accelerates very slow, and then out of no where it takes off. sometimes at a decent cruising speed it bogs down and dies, and it seems like its lacking overall bottom end power.
I removed the fuel filter, to see if that was causing it, and it acted the same way it did before i removed it, and i removed the stock air box and filter, and it kinda revved funny when i would hold the throttle steady.
these problems seemed to get worse the longer it ran. I took the hood off after running it for a bit and the engine was hot, but i dropped a bit of water on the head, and on the pipe and it didnt sizzle at all, and water was coming out of the pisser, so i dont think its overheating. when the motor would die the pisser would kinda make a hissing sound though.
anyways, i have no idea whats wrong, im gonna get some new sparkplugs, but i think it may be in the carb. its a stock 750sx carb. any ideas? and tips for cleaning the carb? can you dip the whole carb in carb cleaner? someone please help me!!
