This past sunday I went riding! (first time in about 4 months)
Anywho, this is what happened.....well the first that that went wrong was that i noticed oil leaking out of the bottom of the oil filter cover.....well, i touched one of the bolts and it just fell off....not a problem, we had a spare and put it in and it stopped leaking oil......after that, i noticed that my 300EX kept wanting to die....didn't matter if I was on the trottle or just easing along. Then it died......it would not crank unless it was pulled off....and then it would only run for a short while. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this problem? I haven't gotten a chance to take a look at it yet, But was just wondering what a good starting point would be. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
