Might be worth checking that nothing has 'moved' into your airbox.

Zedrider,

Sounds like the throttle cable has broke!!

I hope this helps.

You didn't fill up with diesel by mistake?

[Mark Tiller]

CV carbs or slides, if Cv it could be the diaphragms

Blocked jets?

[zedrider]

slides . im sure it was unleaded i put in there . if it was deisel i doubt she would tick over ?

[tlc]

Loose throttle grip ?
















Seriously though I had a similar sympton when one of the main jets fell out. I know, I know I didn`t tighten it.
It could be seriously too rich on just one carb. That will give you quarter throttle and then it`s "Bog down city"

Take K&N's off - check slides are ALL lifting - along with needles

could have been but when i checked it no problem there . but good idea

[z1bman]

check the engine oil level + remove the oil filler cap + if you can smell petrol you might have a leaking float valve
