1991 srv boggs at half throttle. what are some things I can check?

I bought this used one month ago and there was not a problen t hen. All I did recently is change the plugs to see if that would help. I did run it thru some deep snow prior to this problem tho. Some friends say it could be the hi spd jet, others say the coil. I think it may be bad gas as I am experiencing similar prob with my 1969 jlo arc cat this year. Haven't had time to check any yet but now is good. Thanx in advance for your insight.

Hey Dave,
Have you replaced the air filter?
Try running it without the filter to see of that makes a difference..
bad gas will not cause this.. Sometimes its cheaper to take it to a professional..

SOURCE: LCD Monitor turns blank after 1-2 seconds

Yes, this is a very common problem. Often times it is the inverter capacitors that wear down (they look like small batteries with a white stripe and are close to the transformers). If you can get in to the circuit boards, these capacitors are often visibly swollen on the tops; they are normally flat with an embossed X.

If you are going to replace the capacitors, pay very close attention to which way the stripe is; if you reverse this, the capacitor may explode.

ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher on hand when working on carburetors.
Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Is there any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).

Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb.
Put the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. This process should get you back on the road. Pay special attention to the noted area. A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!

SOURCE: My FZR600 won't start. No mods, all stock. I got

it is possible that th eplugs might be fouled but it seems unlikely after only two weeks running-my fzr would foul plugs but it usually takes months not weeks-also the engine would start but run on2 or 3 cyls. I found using one heat range hotter than standard plugs helped,esp. around town you seem to have been fairly methodical on your troubleshooting-if you have fuel and spark the next thing to check is comp. -if the plugs are wet it is likely fuel not oil-when I first bought mine it had sat over winter and would not start -it turned out that the valve clearances had closed up enough that it was low on comp. when ridden frequently it was ok but as soon as the oil had drained off the cyl walls it would not start-squirting oil in the cyls. would get it started but I pulled the cams and set valves to solve problem-starts ok now but I don't use the choke-you could lift the cover and check your valve clearances -it would be a good idea on a bike that you just bought-don't give up -be methodical and check one thing at a time-when you get it going it will be worht it

SOURCE: Defective ignition coils?

You should be able to check for continuity/resistance at the terminals for the coils. If you have no continuity, or very low resistance, you most likely have bad coils. The old Yamahas had very crappy electrical systems. They have a lot of problems with CDI's, coils, and stators/rotors/regulators/rectifiers. You should be able to get continuity through the wires from one end to the other also.

Cruise control doesn't work

If the cruise control switch seems to work then the problem is in this area and is a little odd I know.

First thing is to check the hoses and cables on vacuum pump throttle control. Yes I know that sounds odd but there's a vacuum pump that is used to give the smooth accelleration feeling with cruize control. Crazy mitsu engineers.
Open the hood. On the far right there's a metal squarish box with a hard metal thin pipes comming out of it with one guiding the throttle cable to the throttle on the back of the engine. Another to a vacuum solenoid with a cable and a hose attached. It's a round can somwhere behind the engine on the firewall. Remove the control box and make sure there's a small right angle hose on the bottom that connects to the vacuum pump. unfortunately there's no easy test for the system as you have to be moving over 25mph to use cruise but i would start with the areas I've outlined and look for leaks or stuck cables.

1991 ford explorer

before you get into any real big expense look into the frame on the drivers side of the door that is where the fuel filter is located also look under the hood and check out the fuel pump relay the lid on the fuse box should tell you which one it is also go to Walmart and get a bottle of STP gas treatment because you have water in the gas as well
