Ok check your fuel filter first,then check fuel supply, If fuel is restricted the fuel pump will starve for fuel. You should check fuel pressure at intake. It does not sound like a fuel problem. Also does it happen at idle or under acceleration.

it sounds like your float valve is not closing. It is possible some debris found its way to the valve preventing it from closing or the float level is improperly adjusted. sounds like you have to take the carb apart to clean it out.

Perfection will come with practice. It is difficult to explain when to change gear and at which revs etc. It is a matter of time and timing. You will soon get the hang of it.
I was wondering if the clutch dissengages fully, that is all. If not it may need slight adjustment.
Ride safely.

That is correct, you need to remove it to gain access to both-easy to do, disconnect the fuel line (close petcock) and slide it forward.

With a fault like this it could be a failing coil, a blocked fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. Try the fuel filter first as it is the easiest to replace.

Bogs down at high rpm

check for fuel flow from the tank . check for blocked fuel filter. check that the choke butterfly is not being allowed to close at high air flow causing the engine to flood.

Sounds similar to my Sable.. I was told that it is the power steering pump making the whine and that if I couldn't stand it, I'd have to have it changed.. Other than the whine, it works just fine.. SO, it's whined for about 10 years, now..

I have 93 pajero 2.8 diesel.it starts fine in the morning,but when i drive off it gives the impression it has run out of fuel.It will then start, but not easily and it can do this a couple of times before...

Hi ..... It sounds like you're getting air into the system overnight. Diesel won't come out but air will go in. Check the fuel filter is on tight and that any soundproofing on top of the engine hasn't caused a stress fracture in/on any of the injector lines. Find where your manual primer is and before you start it in the morning give it a couple of pumps. What I have seen in the past is the positve live feed to the pump corrode (green) and after cleaning and tightening up the crimp all is fine.
Let us know the outcome.
