t-shock 250 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 You haven't cleaned the carb though, which is the first thing to do ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Many times a quick clean on a carb will not do! You gotta disassemble and blow out the jets and passages, possibly run a fine wire throu the jets to clear debris. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bputt Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Any sudden stops, big hits just prior to bike not running - sheared flywheel key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
