[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 139241, member: 79"] I doubt this is the cause now howeer going into the way back machine I had a 73 Suzuki TM125 that would always stall going into a turn unless I was on the pipe... The dealer told me run nothing but premium (back when it WAS premium) gas... The only way I was ever able to restart the bike was to turn the gas off, lay it down on it's side and drain the carb... pick it up, let it sit for a few minutes, and start kicking leaving the gas off but a couple twists... once it started (it had just enough gas in the carb) turn the gas on but it would bogg really bad (as they called it... it was loaded up), I had to play with the throttle until it "unbogged" itself. the plug was probably fouled but would always start after staling I always had to go thru that routine. :noidea: I switched to unleaded, took off the sparky put on just a silencer and the problem went away, no loss in performance, no change in wear and tear... plugs were always in good condition, took the motor apart several times while attending motorcycle mechanic school, the instructor said it was the cleanest looking motor he's seen... :thumb: Hope you figure out the problem, nothing worse than sitting in a sand wash kicking and kicking and seeign the vultures starting to circle... :shocked: Hey, that sounds familiar... :thinking: don't talk bad about the bike while trying to start it... BAAAAAD JOO JOO will happen. :eek: trust me on this... :prof:.... :devil: [/QUOTE]
