carb adjust/been sitting x 2 years
Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2000 6:17 pm
I bought an 1988 KLR650 that has been sitting for 2 years. I can't
get it to idle. I have: cleaned carb, cleaned jets, bought new
battery, changed oil, changed air filter, replaced fuel line hoses,
taken apart and put together carb several times. I have main jet
screwed in all the way. I tried pilot jet screwed all the way in and
also pilot jet backed off one full turn. The bike will start and die
out if I try to let it idle. I have played with the idle adjust screw
also. I am frustrated. Any suggestions? I am about to give up and
declare defeat and take it in to the dealer for service but I really
wanted to get this bike running on my own.
