MZ/MuZ Riders

Hey guys,
Took the baggy today here in NH. But if I went to go more than half throttle it would bog almost to stall, Any gear, But i could top end at half throttle, Carb adjustment? Something possibly more sinister?

Matt

How long has it been since running it last? Use some Seafoam in the tank to clean the carbs.....sounds like fuel starvation to me

Ok, I just bought it from someone that was using it. I'll get some sea foam and give it a shot thank you

check any fuel filters and drain the float bowls

all 3 of my mz bikes have plastic tanks
they seem to make lots of water to fill the float bowls

I'm the dirtbag that sold it to him.

Matt - I never had any kind of problem like that, and I'm guessing you've hardly ridden it at all since buying it. Is the choke lever working OK, possibly stuck on? The carb works pretty well on that particular bike, maybe a little rich. I suppose it's possible something happened to plug up a jet in the two weeks since you bought it, but I highly doubt that.

Keep me posted. If it's still giving you trouble by the weekend. I should be around Sunday and I'd be happy to take a closer look with you.

Sam,
I knew you'd come to the rescue if I needed you thank you. i got some sea foam, I'll run that for the next few days see how that goes, I can pull the float bowls with minimal difficutly, If it goes past that i'll drop ya a line!!

And of all things, you are not a dirt bag dude!! Hell I might just stop by just to look at all the bikes again...LOL

I've had success using Seafoam for that exact application. Good luck!
Ed

Good deal Ed, Thank you...

Sam does know his...has good sense and keeps his stuff in good nick..no need to drop the bowl,but I would drain it with the drain screw,or run it with the petcock
off till it stops,then add Seafoam,or pop the fuel line off and injct the seafoam directly into the carb inlet to fill the bowl..it maybe the screen filter in the carb inlet
is blocked partially....gives same symptoms

The sea foam worked great, It's like a new machine, Still tends to stall at lights though. Possible jet clog?

Idle should be around 1350,possible pilot jet still blocked a bit...havee the same issue with mine at this time,wont idle....runs crappy..bad gas...junk in bowl I fear....
