Everything was fine, running normal, same sounds, etc. Then
whamo!, No engine. I had power to all of my lights but no go.
Yes the gas was on. LOL Starter cranking but wouldn't fire off.
I opened the throttle half way and she choked to life at a high
rpm. I ran her home quick. The only strange thing that was
happening prior to the failure, was that she couldn't hold a
consistent idle. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance - Ryan

1. Drain float bowl to rule out water in fuel
2. Check carb vent
3.. Check vacuum line to petcock
4. Tight valve clearance?
5. Blocked pilot jet?

Oh .. one more ... change the paint... I bet if I made my A9 less ugly, it
would run better!

Well, since I've sold my A10, went to a Zook, and no longer need any
KLR techy info, I'll be signing off of the DSNKLR650 list. It's been
real, and it's been fun, and maybe I'll check in from time to time.
If you're mad enough or fishy, you'll still find me on different
lists.
Laterz,
Swede
