This is the second time I've had this kind of problem. I have a 1990
KLR 650 with 16,000 miles on it. I was riding home from work on a
cool night. During the first mile felt herky-jerky, like when you
need to move the petcock from "run" to "reserve". At the first stop
light, the engine died. I started it by opening the throttle wide.
I made it the rest of the way with very uneven rpms.
Last time something like this happened, I took the carb apart and
cleaned it with carb spray. The problem persisted until I took off
and cleaned the the "coasting enricher" (little round part on the
left side of the carb).
It didn't look to me like the needle was stuck or the foats were
stuck - but then again I don't know what that would look like. Any
suggestions appreciated.
Thanks -

For those folks that have installed Jake's excellent fuel filter
line, does it replace the main thicker line running directly from
the tank valve to the carb, or does it replace the thinner line from
the tank valve to the T-valve on the carb?
TIA
