What is this restrictor kit? I know of the restrictions in overseas areas for power, but I have never heard of a restrictor kit.

the restrictor kit is for power, it is for british licence reasons. i cannot ride a bike with more than a power of 33bhp.

as far as i know the restrictor kit is simply four washers in the carbs.

How low was the fuel? My bike behaves like that when I get down to reserve... Simple things first!

We've fixed Dita, her problem was some "gunk" that had hung up the #3 carb's float. Of course her plug was wet, so it was easy to see that she was getting fuel. It did look like a no spark problem though, because of the fuel in the cylinder.

I think you're going to be looking at your carbs before this is over.

Good deal, glad to hear that you fixed your problem.

Thanks! I only wish we'd found it sooner. Nothing quite like the mountains on a b4 3 cylinder.

If you haven't already figured out your problem, I have something for you to look at. I was riding around a few weeks ago and my bike (98 B6 with 1127 engine) started cutting out as if someone just tapped the kill button for a moment, and it was very sporatic. It took a while but I found out that there is a wire attached to the main wire from the negative terminal on the battery that has a small connector on it that plugs into the main harness, this connector was loose, and when I would hit a bump just right or something else, it would break connection and drop spark. I repaired this connection and that fixed the problem.
