Why is my carburetor not working on my motorcycle?
The main function of a carburetor on a motorcycle is mixing the appropriate amount of air and fuel the engine needs to run properly. When a motorcycle is running lean, that means there’s too much air and not enough fuel in the air/fuel mixture during the combustion process. This process takes place in the carburetor if your motorcycle has one.
What happens when a carburetor is running too lean?
Too Lean When a carburetor is running lean, the fuel-to-air ratio is off because the carburetor is delivering too much air. Typical symptoms of a lean mixture are: Backfiring as the throttle is closed (primarily during coast-downs)
