[QUOTE="buju, post: 654848, member: 41357"] Well I've had this '84 XR250 sitting around for about 3 months now and I haven't been able to ride it at all. It's a real hard start, but it will fire up after a few cranks with a lot of choke. Fouls a lot of plugs too (although, I haven't ridden it a lot... just sits in the driveway pretty much for now). But if I kill the engine, it simply will not start back up when it's hot. I'm sure this is a carburetor problem, but specifically I don't have a clue and would like some opinions as to what you think the problem is. I can't find anyone who knows an independent mechanic or anyone who could do this cheaply, so I'm looking at spending a few hundred (not sure how much yet) on getting it fixed... I have to get the fork seals replaced to while it's in the shop.... I haven't had the time or money to deal with it yet, but I spent 7 hours today just riding street bikes in a MSF course up at the community college... and I really, really need to get my own bike working! Thanks for your help, Ben [/QUOTE]
