Running hot??

[mikeevans1]

Hi guys...

Bought my son a PW50 2004 for xmas and he's used it about 6 times now - he loves it.

Got back on it yesterday after about 1 month off it. He was riding for about 1 hour solid in the wet and mud, so the bike was hot. He came out of a corner opened the throttle and it bogged, would not rev clear just spluttering then cut-out. I pushed it back, let it cool for 5 minutes, started it, then it ran fine, no problems.....and off he went again..

any ideas?

Does this happen when they get too hot?

Anything I should look for?

I am having the same issues, and I just did a top end rebuild, runs amazing cold.

I hace seen a few time on full size bikes that ignition coils that can fail when hot, a good bike shop will have a special suitcase tool to check these under load, if not just try a new one.

All 2 strokes don't like heat and will have a loss of power issues when the temp gets up there.
Did you fix the problem?
