Spree Loses Speed When Bumps Are Run Over

BluPhire · Post by **BluPhire** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 11:21 am

When I'm riding on a dirt road or a not so flat street, i'll lose speed and the motor will die down and some times die completely. It also happens when I'm going and I slow down too fast(it'll die alltogether of just die down).

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!

No, It can be any time. no matter how warmed up it is.

It could possibly be a faulty float valve.
Maybe intake pipe is leaking?
Maybe as simple as your fuel cap vent being clogged.
Are your choke wires attached securely.
Dirty air filter?
Bad Gas?
Have you cleaned the carb and jets?
Just a few things to check out.

Where are the choke wires located? Pics would be great.
