Can you give us a little more info? What do you mean "going down a levi"? Does it bog? Scream? Lock up?

[sparks400]

o it bogs and then as a slow down it just dies, no lock up, no screaming, no nothing besides bog and die, and it still has spark. im going down a dirt road and it does that, better?

Down, as in downhill? Your carb may be flooding. They can take a certain amount of downhill, but if it's too steep for an extended period, the float valve may not close, causing your carb to flood and dump fuel into your cylinder, causing it to die. Just a theory.

[sparks400]

yea i see where ur goin but im just goin along a str8 dirt road.

[Scott-300ex]

you just said you were going down a levi:rolleyes: like 5 times and now you say its a straight road? :huh psh!

[sparks400]

forget it, if u cant answer y it dies goin down a dirt road w/ the electric still working dont reply

[Scott-300ex]

hey man, i was just bringing it to your attention so people know what your talking about, sorry if i offended you

but since it bogs, i would say you are dumping to much fuel in, could be not enough also, but it is definetly a fuel problem, your ignition will still be on too, it is just like turning your key on without starting it, but you just lose you engine

heres what you could do, wheely down the hills to stay level...j/k:blah:

[sparks400]

naa dude im not offened or anything i just hate when people just posta thread without answering the question u kno. could it be vapor lock?

[QuadTrix6]

maybe when u let off the throttle it stalls bc the idle is to low

[sparks400]

it could have been, but it didnt start right away.

[Scott-300ex]

thats a good point QuadTrix, because it wouldn't start right away either, you would have to give her some gas, does it idle any other time, if it is slow then turn it up and try that

[Scott-300ex]

good point QuadTrix about the idle, i would try adjusting that and turning it up, unless it idles perfectly just sitting

also, do you have a pipe or anything you need to change the jetting on? maybe you should raise the needle(lower the clip), if you have mods on it, (i don't know which bike it is in your sig)

if you do have mods on it has it been acting like this from the first time you put them on? then im sure its jetting. Maybe you raised in elevation and your jetting is off, i would say idle like QuadTrix said or jetting, just try raising the needle (lowering clip)before changing jets
