Posted March 16, 201311 yr my 1974 dt 360 changes engine speed when i take it off the kickstand. it almost dies and when put it back on the stand it starts idling right again.i also have to run the choke half way to get it to idle.
March 16, 201311 yr Hi By reading the post I get the impression that when the bike is leaned over on the side stand the motor runs ok and when the bike is stood up right the motor stutters/stalls, I don't know for sure but at a guess, it seems like the fuel pick up or fuel level in the float bowl might be partially blocked or low, but if you are running the bike with the choke out all the time I would assume that there is not enought fuel getting to the engine and an engine running lean could be running too hot, so you need to check it out a soon as you can or you might have other problems later down the road,
March 16, 201311 yr Yip as they say " and pilot jet will be blocked, thats why you need choke to run, pilot jet is first 1/8 of throttle opening, before pulling fuel thru main jet.. How long has it been standing,?

March 19, 201311 yr Author i cleaned the carb again and it cranked wide open. i did this 2 or 3 times and i shut it off quickly. any suggestions on this problem
March 19, 201311 yr Moderator The throttle slide isnt aligned properly so it's sat on top of the peg and therefore being held in an open position...?
March 20, 201311 yr The throttle slide isnt aligned properly so it's sat on top of the peg and therefore being held in an open position...? Done this a few times with my DT carb, the slide will even look like it is rising up and down because its sat on the slope that the tickover screw acts up on,
March 20, 201311 yr Author Done this a few times with my DT carb, the slide will even look like it is rising up and down because its sat on the slope that the tickover screw acts up on, what is the tickover screw and where is it located?
March 20, 201311 yr Tick over =idle screw..on side of carb with spring. You might have the slide in backwards? Does it go to the bottom fully or is half way open? Cut out side to air cleaner is right way.
