Sounds to me like you may need to richen your jets on the carb. For easier starting when hot. Or maybe the floats in the carb need to be adjusted. Does the bike run out of power while you ride it?

 

[Troyer349]

No the bike has plenty of power when im riding doesn't die out or anything

the last seems like a question that needs to be asked, but the owner probably cant give you a good answer for the reason he stated "I am new"

I would still suspect a carb issue of some kind. Two strokes are not like that.

Too rich and likely has a float that was last set at the factory. A new top end makes it all seem better for awhile.

 

[Troyer349]

Ok thanks a lot, do you think that the carb just needs to be cleaned? or something else?

 

[hondacr500af]

You think it might be to rich? You are right it could just be week rings.

well if you reread that part I wrote about how the float probably hasnt been set since it left the factory.......? maybe you could start there. cleaning a carburetor is always nice when you have it open though. the float needle could have junk on it too.

Troyer349.

So there is three things to look into.
1. carburetor (clean and check jets)
2. Top End (check piston and rings for blow by)
3. Reed Peddles (check for chipped, cracked or frayed)

ok thank again

Clean jets let more fuel flow. Yours is running rich from the sounds of things, start wherever you want though.
