Hi Folks, newbie here and a couple of questions. I just bought a low mile (2000k) 87 Yamaha 340 Enticer. It is in great to excellent overall condition.
On my second ride the other day, the sled seemed to bog and billow blue smoke upon start up. It reved very high until the clutch engaged. It had new plugs but I put the old one's back in and the problem went away...temporarily. After riding in some pretty deep snow at temps around 2 C (34F) it started doing it again, bogging but no blue smoke. I took it out to the hard packed road and opened it up to try to clear it out. Seemed OK for a bit and then it just bogged out, quit, and would not restart. It started again after about an hour. Have'nt tried it since.
The sled has new gas in it and everything looks good on it, the previous owner took very good care of it. Could it be that it overheated in the relativley mild temps? Or should I start looking at fuel related possible problems?
Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
Mike
