It only sputters when the throttle is nearly or fully opened. Why is this happening? and what can I do? FYI: I always warm it up for 2 minutes or so before riding. please help me out, thanks. -ED
I about guarantee you have some residual E10 "skank spooge" inside your carb that is partially clogging your jets. E10 is BAD if left untreated in your fuel system. I agree with others as you will need to dissasembly your carb for a cleaning. In the future make it a disciplin to add some type of Ethanol fuel treatment. (I swear by Startron) also Stabil Ethanol formula is great too .
