Hi all,
I have had my 2003, 1100cc Spirit for a few years, and never really had issues with it until now. When I got my bike out of storage, it had a rough idle (low and uneven). I cleaned the carbs, put in a brand-new battery, and made sure the idle was at 1200 rpm. It worked perfectly fine for a few miles, then out of nowhere it started sputtering/lost a good amount of power. All wires are functioning and I changed the spark plugs just to be sure, but to no avail. Idle is now sitting at just over 800 and doesn't like it when I hit the throttle or put on the choke (which kills it). Any ideas?? I'm thinking fuel pump at this point but I'm unsure if that is a logical next step.
