drnu Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hello all, My name is Marshall. I just got myself into the Yamahas and I am a young lad. I'm only 17 and have the supreme interests into motorcycles. I hope to learn a lot from these forums and at least help diagnose my problem. Dad was always a harley fellow, but got me into cafes like the xs750's. still love them but now I found my home of the enduros. Im a big fan of the Enduros. Favorite of them all except for the adventure bikes (I'm not experienced enough for a super tenere) Now, I got this xt350 after my yz 125 (no job or anything so I had to settle for older bikes) The bike was running but now it feels like a fuel problem like it doesnt want the fuel. It barely idles at 1100 rpm with choke on and as soon as the gas is just touched it cuts off. Now I have cleaned this carburetor 3 times and stripped it to the bone and can't figure out the problem and it's really irritating. But, that's for another section. Anyways, thanks for having me on the forums guys and I will post the problem in the correct section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhat250 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi marsh" you say stripped to the bone [ carb], did you take out the pilot jet, coz thats what takes over from the choke jet, for idle and first quarter throttle, untill the air-speed builds up [ venturi] then lifts fuel via the main jet,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
