Hi I'm new to this site, and new to motorcycling in general. However I'm determined to work on the bike myself as much as possible. Currently, the bike starts up golden and runs nice in neutral,I put the bike in first and right when I start to pull away, it dies. Doesn't choke or sputter, just dies...like someone hit the kill switch. This is a new problem that cropped up after I changed all the oils (I tried draining the old oil from the gear box, but the plug on the bottom rotted and broke, so I just added a little new fresh oil for now) I also cleaned the bike up with some degreaser and a little water (perhaps some got into the carb...however like I said it runs fine in neutral) Any ideas as to what is going on?

Thanks :???:

Hi monty,
thats odd..
does it rev up in neutral , if so , carb less likely a problem.
or is it not supplying enough petrol under load?

Any hoo , also wanted to let you know you posted in the wrong area - you need classic,vintage and veteran, try a repost , and I'm sure you'll get some good advice.

all the best
