I thought I would share my experience with my 2006 ec300.
I took it out a couple of weeks ago and after running well for about an hour it started to not Rev up, bogging, hard to describe. I changed the plug but this made no difference. It was barley rideable so I retared and limped back to the car. I put it down to water as I had been though a small stream.
When I got back i striped the carb, took the cover of the sataor WD in there, also cleaned all the electic connectors I could find. Took it out on the road and it was no better sor the first min and then came good again.
So again put it down to electrical. So I WD the Stator some more and left the cover off for some time and crossed my finger a bit.
So I whent out ageing yesterday and all was good despite some significant water crossings. Then about 2 hours in it started again, then cleared its self. Then bad again. We pulled over I was going to get the stator cover off when some one said, is that some mud in your pipe, I had a look and some of the packing was in the end of the pipe, so I took it out then found a stick and fereted out any more loose packing I could find and low and behold a fully working if a little loud bike.
I am yet to repackage so don't know how this has happend but this would have been the last thing I would have looked at, just lucky it was visible.
One more thing in my list of checks.
Sorry for any bad gramer or spelling, iPad and dislexia not a good combanation.
