k2 curvy running problem
hey org
my curvy has started to play up i have to rev it to stop it from cuting out it will not run on tick over at all. when riding the bike it has a lose of power and allways feels like the brake is on. if i accelerate then close the throttle the bike backfires and kicks a lot of flames. i have put new plugs into the bike and still have the same problem i checked the HD leads and they seem ok. i also thought that there might be crap in my fuel tank or fuel pipes so have put a full tank in to try and push it out. i have now run out of ideas unless its the carbs that are unbalanced but i have no idea how to check that and i know they were rebalanced around 5000 miles ago my dad thinks that i might need a new head as he thinks it is compression cheers nicky s

Re: k2 curvy running problem
is your idle screw turned in or out,where do the carb linkages stop when you close the throttle?

Re: k2 curvy running problem
Curvy rough running.Theres a few old favourites to check out and you may have already done some,but----
Choke cables and plungers.They stick and cause one or both pots to run rich Water in front plug area causing misfire. (What did the old plugs look like) Water in fuel.Does the drain pipe from the tank filler area actually drain water out through the pipe that exits under the rear of the tank?Or has it rusted through inside the tank and dumps water in there?If so this can accumalate in the carb float bowls which will need draining. Wiring loom chafing under the riders seat around the headstock and rear subframe.Difficult to find so Id check out the above thoroughly first. Do you get a good spark on both plugs?

Re: k2 curvy running problem
check your idle speed, if it won't idle turn the idle screw to the right until it will
always check simple stuff first, amirite |

Re: k2 curvy running problem
Idle wont account for the lack of power at road speed though.(Feels like the brake is on)
An intake air leak causing a very weak mixture might though?
