Let me explain the whole story. I picked up a 2006 Schwinn Graduate 50 last month. $200 and it had 132 miles on it, but it sat for twelve years in the original owners garage. I trailered it home and took it all apart. Drained the old gas, new tires and stems, new CVT belt, new starter motor, swapped 6 gram rollers for 5 gram sliders, oil change, transmission fluid change. While I was waiting for the sliders, I put it back together with the rollers in. It fired up on the first shot. I rode it for a couple days and did not notice any issue.
When the sliders came, I put them in (made a huge difference) and rode to work. At this point I had also adjusted the idle up about a full turn to the right. I didn’t notice the stuttering issue on that ride. At work I popped the top off of the carb to check out the pin to see if I could adjust it. I noticed that the gasket kind of peeled off. Almost like it had some glue on it from the factory. I used the same gasket when I put it back together. That’s the last thing I touched before the problem started. I did not take the carb apart at any time because it seemed to be functioning well despite sitting over a decade.
The problem is this...when I am at full acceleration. If I let off the gas quickly and then quickly apply acceleration again, the bike stutters or sputters like it is momentarily not getting enough fuel. Just a couple quick coughs and then it is fine.
I’m not sure why this is happening and would appreciate any advice!
