high revs need serious help

[andy tri z]

as soon as i kick my tri z up it hits full revs even though my rev cable is not stuck and everything seems to be fine could anyone help me because i am puzzled thanks andy

first make sure your slide isn't stuck open, also make sure your gas is on (stupid i know but ya never know), and if thats not it, I'd say you have a bad air leak somewhere. what does your plug look like when it does this? is it leaning out?

[andy tri z]

thanks for replying the slide is fine and the gas is on but when i take the pipe off the carb no petrol comes through but i though if it wasnt getting enough petrol it wouldnt start as for the plug it turns white if its not getting enough petrol can it make the bike rev high thanks andy

yeah if your not getting enough fuel and too much air, your bike will rev uncontrollably

I would almost bet your petcock is stoped up, pull it out of the tank an give it a cleaning.

[andy tri z]

thanks mate il clean that and see how it is cheers

yah make sure the hose is clean too, maybe you should just try and flush your whole gas tank, you never know what will be in there.

another thing is when the tri z is revving high you cant cut it out by the kill switch why could this be as the kill switch works i have tested it thanks

same thing with the blaster...when it revs so high like that you just gotta pop up into 2nd or 3rd gear and dump the clutch....my killswitch works fine and when that happened to me twice i had to dump the clutch...

I have the same problem, so i adjusted the needle to run more rich and it actually made the problem worse. I couldnt believe it. Any other ideas?
