    was great but about 3/4 into the 90 ground miles....bike would stop and die on steep long down hills. Me thinks pluggged vent hose(s) on carb? Would be tough to restrt on even level ground. only on steep long down hills...even with throttle way on too. Got to check it out but anyone ever have this happen? Bueler? anyone?
    Otherwise.....might be selling a TE 310 soon....the thing rocks!

    Carb float height might be too low and causing fuel starvation if at that angle too long.

    Congrats with placing 3rd with a new bike :thumbsup:

    Joe,

    It was good to meet you after the enduro. Looking forward to seeing you again at the Gathering.

    Where did you get the pics? Any pics of a home-built Kawasaki on row 49?

    144's lookin' good!

    Looking good Joe....:thumbsup:

    hmm....about the stalling...are your vent hoses still down low by the shock..?? might want to stick em high and put them in a pill bottle in the air box...I did that and have no issues anymore

    might want to take your igniton cover off and see how much water you took on...I had to plug the weep hole in the bottom with RTV

    almost sounds like fuel level to high...and flooding...the fuel has nowhere to go but inside the intake on a steep downhill....I'm guessing

    yes its a wonderful bike...it has an awesome feel :)

    Camera operator here - Sorry, didn't get any pics of you this time, but if you find Joe or me before a race (I can usually be identified by Husky shirt and giant camera bag), just let me know what row you're on, and what you're riding, and I'll get some next time :thumbsup:

    It looks like your helmet wasn't strapped across your throat. But, you may have a super strap.
