robtrev79 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi all I was out on the sherco 290 yesterday and it was faultless all day until I hit one last rooty climb, as i landed it stalled and now won't rev unless the choke is on any ideas. I've cleaned the carb thinking it might of been a blocked jet but still bogs Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Have the carb floats jammed down causing flooding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtrev79 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've had the carb apart and all seems fine just strange that it's fine with the choke out so wondered if it was drawing air in somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Running decent on choke is indication of blocked pilot jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The pilot jet is really the last filter for the pilot circuit. There are two exits on the pilot circuit that have to flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtrev79 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 All fixed I strip the carb and let it soak in carb cleaner then blew all the jets out again and it's runiing sweet again. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. One must be really carefull with the pilot jets as they are soo small and anything will block them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
