Chances are there is a water build up in the carb float bowls. The water comes from condensation in the gas tank. Try draining the carbs. Another possibility is carburetor main jets partially plugged up. You must clean the carbs if plugged jets are found to be the problem. Please rate my answer. Thanks. tombones49_152.gif

Buell Blasts have a known issue involving the carb boot. If the bike is a couple of years old check out the rubber spacer/conector which is betwwen the carb and the engine. Chances are that it is cracked and allowing air to enter direcly. This will cause your bike to sputter and have starting issues. Chck this out first and if it is not this then check the spark plug what color is the ceramic electrode and tip. This will tell you alot about what is going on inside the engine. The carb boot is a cheap fix less than 20 bucks. Good luck Brian

Why would my troy buit lawn tractor sputter and

The tractor is bogging down under load, which can be due to a dirty carburetor or carb out of adjustment or it may just need a general tune up. Before you start tearing things apart, try some carb cleaner poured in the gas tank, and spray some carb cleaner down throat of carb. Check air cleaner and spark plug. Spray all linkages, connecting points, etc on the carb and engine to clean away any gunk.

Wont keep running

Maybe some water in an electrical plug. Remove the tank and dry it all out with compressed air or WD40. Work around the coils and other wiring. Also where the wires come out of the engine case.

Bike sputtering & change of exhaust may nedd re-jetting??

generally when installing after market performance exhaust, jetting the carb is necessary. until you get ahold of the previous owner and find out if the carb has been jetted, you can try and adjust the fuel air mixture screw and see if that helps. and like any engine especially bikes, it is possible to sieze the piston. it can be riden, but be careful of over heating. hope this helps...
