Last Friday night, my bike quit on me on the way to a friend's house. I got it restarted and all seemed ok. Then on the way home, I rounded a corner and rolled the throttle on. The engine couldn't rev at all. A few seconds later it quit. Getting it to restart was a bear. Saturday night, I rode it around the neighborhood, and it quit yet again. It also exhibited the same lack of power. On Sunday I couldn't start it for the longest time, then it finally ran at 1000 RPM with the choke all the way out. I eventually got it to idle decently.
I really don't know what it could be. I know it's not the vent hose. Could the reed valve in the AI system be blown? Could a carb problem have manifested itself so suddenly? The left pipe is bluing in the joint where the heat shield meets the manifold cap. The right heat shield has a slight yellow tinge to it. I pulled the plugs, and the look OK. They can be view online if anyone wants to see.
Please help me. I'm in the Army, and getting this thing to a dealer is gonna be a bear, and I sure don't have money to have it fixed.
