I read the section on "Carb Cleaning",but before I do that I want to get a second opinon. Here is the issue. Bike warms up with choke on, disengage the choke bike shuts off. According to carb claening it is the slow jet. I managed to get it to go by keeping the RPM's up, rode it for a 1/4 mile staled. I decided to switch to RESERVE, kick twice, starts, took off runs great! Switch back to ON, bike sputters and dies. I did however put in some gas that is a good month old. Assuming the gas is the problem, wouldnt that old gas affect the reserve?
Before putting the bike up for the winter,(Bike has not been started for about 5 weeks) I turned the gas off and started the bike and ran all the gas out of the Carb. I have done this on my other three bikes and have had no problems in cranking them up ( Honda's, xr 80, crf 50, crf 150f)
The temp has been down in the 20's at night and 30 to 40's during the day.
Second: if I was to take the carb apart and clean the slow jet, by removing the jet and not knowing where the proper setting is, how will I be able to get the bike to run again?
Any help is greatly associated, Dennis
