CRF450 bogging on full throttle

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: rmcmichael---------------------

This weekend, I could not give it full throttle without
it almost dieing on me. Other than that, it ran just
fine. I'm guessing that it's the accelerator pump in
the carb. So I'll have to take the carb off the bike
and clean it.

Any hints or tips from anyone before I start tearing
into it?

Well, I did it. Took me two hours, but I got it done.
I had to take off the gas tank and the rear sub
frame, but I got it.

That little accelerator circuit jet screws into the
bottom of the carb float bowl, right next to the
17 mm float bowl drain plug. And you have to take
the bowl off to get to it. Yep, it had a little bit of
something in it.

Putting it all back together was okay, until I got
to the part where you get the rubber flange from
the airbox over the carb inlet. Couldn't get it.
Sweated and cursed for ten minutes and then I
took off the exhaust header so I could get my
hand in from that side. I guess my hands are
too big.

All buttoned up now and ready to ride!
