Triumph t3 rocket starts but as soon as you twist the throttle it dies. If you get it to rev it backfires and tries to die. When you let off throttle it starts to run ok back to idle.

You have to work to get it revved up. And it pops and backfires a lot.

Your description indicates a serious fuel starvation problem but a very weak spark could cause or aggravate the condition.

You should measure the combustion ratio.Maybe piston rings failed.

SOURCE: Keihin CVK-D36 carbs on a 20 yr old ZZR 600

It sounds like your bike has been sitting in storage for an extended period of time (a year or more) - and the carburetors are plugged up. If this is the case, they will need to be completely disassembled and cleaned out.
If it hasn't been sitting (and the carbs aren't plugged up) then check that all of the normal tune-up items have been performed, especially valve adjustment, oil and filters, spark plugs, etc. If this fails to produce positive results, perform a compression check on the engine. Each cylinder must be able to produce at least 140 psi of compression in order to run and idle properly.

SOURCE: When I start my 10hp mercury outboard after

Be sure to run the recommended fuel mix. most modern 2 stroke outboard engines run on 100 to 1, some times the mix is on a decal inside the cowl.

Cheers, Timo.

SOURCE: i have a husky 455 rancher.never had a problem

When this has happened to me, it turned out to be a hole or crack in the fuel line. At the higher revs, more fuel is needed. The added "suction" for the higher demand pulls air into the line and the unit does not have enough fuel to run. Check for that first and also the fuel filter inside the tank. The filter might be clogged as well.

Keep us posted,
Dan

When cold starts but dies.to start, peddle to floor, rev a minute then it idles but at times dies when accelerating from a stop. Raw gas smell present and puff of blue smoke when it starts.

have you checked the cylinder compressions as backfire and blue smoke can be a symptom of low compression , either rings or valve seats but would need a dropdown test to be sure

Why does my Vintage Cub Cadet 125, Kohler 12HP engine pop/backfire and die when given any throttle?

Carburetor needs adjusted. May need rebuilt or just cleaned. Could be one of the jets is plugged.

Throttle free play 2009 Triumph Rocket III Touring

Throttle free play should be about 5mm of "free play" movement at the throttle twist grip.
Check this in all positions while turning the bars fully to the left and right.
It should always have "free play"

Backfire louldly on deceleration

One of the carburetors could be sucking in air through the vacuum port. Had a similar issue on a thruxton. Triumph puts a rubber cover on them. Sometimes the rubber cracks and sometimes the covers just fall off.

2006 bonnie black will not respond to throttle

sounds like it could be out of time, check your air filters and spark plug/s and clean if nessesary, look for simple problems before going to the hard ones, good gas does wonders

Fuel light comes on and bike stalls, can restart straight away

Try adding Lucas injector cleaner to a tank of gas. I'm hearing a lot of R3 owners are having issues with the ethanol in our gas. I tried it in mine and it's all but eliminated the problem. Going to drain the tank and start fresh in the spring. Good luck!
