Surging ETZ 301

Postby Andy_C » Sat Sep 06, 2014 3:19 am

Any tips on reducing the amount of "surguing" that I experience on my ETZ ?

Bringing the tickover down as low as it will go and adjusting the air screw to something around half a turn out seems to minimise it.

Any suggestions ?

big 2 smokers are bad about that the 750cc suzuki 3 cyl..could drive you nuts in slow traffic

if your running a bit rich can cause it ..the excess builds up in the crankcase then burns off and leans out ..
then does it again ...

David.

Had a fiddle with the air screw and tickover speed and have all but eliminated the surging now, still does it a bit but is tolerable.

I also run a Kawasaki 500 Triple which dosent surge at all, guess as each pot is fairly small you don't get the problem.

Cheers.

some of the multi cylinder bikes have a hose from the bottom of one cylinder to the intake of the other

it cleans out the bottom end of excess fuel

there was no dealer in my area for kawasaki till after the2 and 3 cylinder 2 smokers had came and gone
so not sure how its plumbing works

kawasaki arrived late in my area
