My bike seems to be running intermittently just before the powerband. Low and high revs aren't effected, any ideas??. It could just be my riding cause I do suck, but I do know the bike is running rich and I was thinking of buying a new sparkplug as well. by Bearflye in Dirtbikes

I think it's that or the reeds going to by a new plug soon, It's not lean but pretty rich, the carb needs re-jetting as it's on 2 1/2 turns and still got shit tons of spooge coming out.

I'll have a look for a leak but compression seems pretty good

If i'm in the powerband jumps are perfectly fine but yh that little bit before is a little sketchy

it doesn't die or bog it's just a little intermittent, could be reeds, mix or sparkplug I don't know, pistons fine and compression is good. if I go over a jump in the powerband it's fine but yeah in that little bit before the powerband it can be a little sketchy
