Did you get dirt lodged in the jet and the float doesn't seal properly? That used to happen to me when I'd offroad my bike. Something would find its way down the jet and the float would stick open. Sometimes a full-throttle run would flush it out, sometimes I'd come back. I ended up opening and cleaning out the carb (cracking the drain didn't seem to help). I put a filter in which has cured it of that sort of thing. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of klr6502k bike stalled out 100 meters from parking stall floods out now at any attempt to idle and runs so rich that the exhaust is almost white at times.

I didn't intend to send this video to the group. NKLR totally! I do think all americans should consider this view put forth in the video. So here it is. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Sounds like the float is stuck open. Try turning the petcock off and run the bowl out of fuel. Now with the butt of a screwdriver give the float bowl a few firm taps. Turn the petcock back on and start to see if it is fixed. Repeat if necessary. Note - this only works with a petcock that has an off position. Some KLR's were equipped with a petcock without an off position. If you have one of these use a vise grip or other type of clamp to pinch the fuel line closed in place of the off position. Walt
