evo boy Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi all. I went out on my factory 300 Sunday was going like a dream after 3/4 hours of riding it started to hunt and knock and wouldn't idle. It's like it was running out of fuel. I carbs is all clean and it has load a fuel do the stuffer with fuel tap problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Double check the fuel cap is venting or just remove it and make sure fuel is entering the bowl and clean the carb. If it still acts the same, get a new jet tower o ring and remove the jet tower and clean out the passages at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK when you say a jet tower O ring I've just look on splat shop and can't seem to find one? I thought I'd change it anyway. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) The jet tower is the part with the security torx. It used to be like a forbidden part of the carb, but thats where all the problems can be fixed. https://advrider.com/f/threads/keihin-death-barble.1285977/ Edited November 10, 2021 by lineaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascended_master Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Blocked pilot jet? Pull out the tap and in tank filter and clean out the ally fuel tank. New to me 2017 Evo had a fair amount of metal swarf still in there from it's manufacture. I attached a hose pipe to the hole for the tap and poured about five tankfulls of kero through it. Also fit an extra clear filter in the hose to the carb. My brother just bought a new Evo and got a stuck float valve immediately with metal swarf coming out of the in frame ally tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sintered bronze type- sintered could be spelled incorrectly. I prefer the sintered bronze type, It can filter smaller junk out better. in my humble opinion-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
