My bike is running a bit rough and struggles to start - when ever I turn on the accelerator it dies with a gulp . I did find that if I block the air from the intake side it starts fine - what should I be looking for when I remove the carb - or is this a problem I could try to resolve without removing the carb .
Is it possible to have air leaks - ie too much air leaking in ? Really stumped with this one - I have had problems before - have had the carb out by mechanics , had the valves checked etc etc - could there be a fault in my carb that is a result from the manufacture and therefore not noticed by mechanics ?
