Can anyone suggest what might be the problem with my 1928 Flyer? I have recently cleaned out the tank and the carb due to the bike being left standing for some time. This removed a lot of rust and other crud and solved some very uneven running problems (let alone dead stops!).
However, as the bike accelerates now it loses power as if starved of petrol only for power to return for a short period after throttling back a little. I have re-cleaned the carb thinking that the problem was more crud and fitted a filter to the tank petrol tap. There was no further dirt in the carb.
Any ideas ?
P.S. I would like to add my concerns to those expressed by various contributors regarding the ways in which the club is managed and seemingly failing to progress. I would also like to thank all contributors for what has been some of the most amusing (though not to say trivial) exchanges of correspondence I have been party to.
May I suggest however that for the Spring and Summer seasons riding should take precedence and that a break will give us some time to take stock. Those of us who would like to see some change may be better able to consider ways forward in the darker days towards the end of the year.
