What could be causing the sudden drop in power after giving some throttle?

New carb, new air intake, new plug - the works basically.

Riding fine the last 2 weeks and today all of a sudden I felt her start doing this, it’ll get into gear I’ll twist the throttle, it’ll get some power, the power will drop out and then it regains power.

Maybe adjusting the air/fuel mixture screw will do it?

What do you think?

What could be causing this?

Hasn’t started in 5 years, yesterday I drained the tank, removed the carb, rebuilt/cleaned with a shindy rebuild kit & carb cleaner, replaced air filter, replaced battery, and today I installed a new petcock.

Yesterday I noticed some hissing coming from around the gas tank cap while the bike was running, I’m wondering if that’s the issue?

Bike dies when giving any throttle with no choke engaged and will rev a bit with the choke pulled but idles poorly. Not sure what else could be the issue, what do you think?

TW200 sat for 5 years, how to approach a restore?

Where should I start? I got my TW200 brand new in 2015, rode the shit out of it but had it parked for the last 5 years and haven't started it.

How should I go about getting it running again? Want to do all the work myself.

What is this line, is it supposed to be hanging like this?

Noticed this today, not sure if this is in its correct position.

What’s the most reliable/heavily tested stage 1 MK7 tune?

I’ve looked at APR, Stratified, IE, EQT, Cobb and a few others I’ve since forgotten and am a bit paralyzed by the options/mixed reviews by all of them.

My MK7 has 68k on it and immense power isn’t my goal, I just want to wake the car up some and have it stay reliable as it’s my DD.

Currently have an intake system and catback that’s it.

What stage 1 tune would you recommend and why? How’s its reliability, as in how long have you had it installed and any issues with the car after tuning?

Haven’t posted in a while!

I love this old acoustic of mine with dead frets.

3 shops couldn’t figure out what this metallic banging noise is, can you?

2017 GTI Sport MT - 67k

1st shop thought it was a heatshield
2nd thought Sway bar end link
3rd I was at for 3 hours today they went over everything and still can’t find it.

I’m losing my mind and can’t figure out what this could be. ITS LOUD as in you can hear it from outside the car down the street loud.

Sounds like someone is banging two solid metal pipes against each other.

I’m at my wits end, all shops say my suspension is tight, bushings are fine. Only work on the car was replacing the brake rotors and pads.

I have an IE catback that was installed after I started hearing the noise in hopes that the exhaust was the issue clanking around.

This thing has been bugging me, haven’t realized it was my caliper cover making this loud sound, anyone know how to secure this thing?? Anything would help!

I've been playing for 20 years, have had a instructor for 3 years now and never played much lead as a self taught player before getting an instructor.

I understand/have all pentatonic major & minor as well as the major and natural minor scale shapes memorized and can move freely between all those shapes up and down the neck.

I've started my shred journey to learn as much lead vocabulary as possible and recently have been obsessed with 80s lead guitar - Gambale, Vai, DeMartini, Lynch and many others.

I've been taught to learn by ear and even though I grew up with tabs I haven't learned via tab in years and kind of have tabs compartmentalized as "bad" but recently have been wondering if I can learn by tab or use Guitar Pro and relate what I learn to those scale shapes my learning will improve.

What are you thoughts on this?
