Hi all; I had an engine that would hiccup on me on a motor cycle. That thing drove me nuts trying to figure out the problem but I did find the problem and I fixed it. This is how I discovered it. I ended up puting clear fuel line from the tank to the carburetor and I was able to watch it while I was riding on a long stretch of country road and low and behold, "bubbles" were forming in the fuel line from the heat off of the engine. I shrouded the line with a sleeve and had no more problems. Just a thought to add to the mix.
Have a great day, I already have. ----- Original Message ----- From: <pe...@heroic.co.uk> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 10:10 AM Subject: Re: KR> hiccupping >> My two cents for what it is worth.
