[QUOTE="Weedman420, post: 1193955, member: 77608"] [b]XR Carb Problem[/b] Hey, I bought a used 1999 XR400 a few days ago. It had been sitting for 2 years. When we went to go test ride it, it would not idle so we always had to give it gas. I cleaned the airfilter, drained old gas(tank+carb), new spark plug. We have taken apart the carb and cleaned the jets with spray and compressed air- did not remove or touch any. The carb looked alright. Now after messing with the pilot screw and throttle idle screw, the bike now idles rough with choke on, but once we put the choke in the half-way or off, it revs to high rpms then dies afterwards unless I keep giving it a little gas.(Spark plug carbonated- rich mixture) So, I dont know whether to take out the carb again- clean it some more and take the jets out(check for damage) then rejet it. Could be clogged lines? OR Should I just take it to this to the shop pay a few hundred dollars for probably a simple carb problem? please reply with any suggestions or what you think could be the problem Thanks [/QUOTE]
