Message: [QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 200102, member: 23735"] The reserve setting on the petcock pulls fuel from the bottom of the tank where the "on" setting takes it from a few inches up. My guess is you switched to reserve and pulled a big slug of mud into the carbs. Are your carbs overflowing? Is fuel making it to the engine? Can you see/smell it coming out of the exhaust? At least drain the carbs using the release screw and try to get a good flush. The fact that your pilot jet was clogged is a pretty good clue that the rest may be at risk of clogature. If my guess is right, a 99 cent fuel filter in line to the carbs would have prevented this. Keep the old XR alive, it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
