Running Diagnosis

Wow!  What an unfortunate coincidence. 

Glad you got it fixed

Had the same problem with my bike this year, just could not get it to run well at 2000 rpm and under.
Had an ignitor go bad, my shop diagnosed that. Replaced that and got a little riding time but the same problem came back. Took it back, my shop did not know what was wrong.  Took it to another shop and for only $600, I could get it fixed. They told me it was a carb problem and would find it, fix it and power tune the engine.

While I was having this problem, every once in a while it would work perfect. My 1100 engine is just such a great engine. I just needed it to work like that all the time. So I decided to go thru the carbs 1 more time, as I was the one who rebuilt them 4 years ago, no issues whatsoever until now. If I could not get it, off to the shop.

Everything was clean as a whistle as I used a magnifying glass to really look.  Found a bent float pin that was not letting the fuel needle seat on #3 carb. fixed that and that solved my issue. Now that engine is sweet EVERY time I ride it.

I just wanted to post this, because several times during this problem, I wanted to give up , sell the bike and get another bike. But I latched on to the idea of, if this engine ran the way it is supposed to, like I read ALL you are doing, I will love this bike. This forum helped me a lot, and I did not want to lose my membership/by selling my bike either.

So thanx to our little forum and you members, I now have a great bike to enjoy.
