LightningWolf Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I know I am a newbie here, but I was hoping you all could help me with a problem I am having with my 85 BW200. The bike is great except for one minor problem with it not staying running. It will start and run, for a good 5-10 minutes, and then it will just shut off. I will then have to choke it again, and it will start and run again for another 5-10 minutes and then die. I recently just replaced all the cover gaskets, and cleaned out the carb, as there was some foam from the air filter, that got sucked into the carb. And it did not change anything. I am not sure what else is could be, any ideas. Please help me. Thank you in advance for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningWolf Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 check your petrol (gas) flow from the tap and then your float height in the carb Turned out to be a gunked up carburetor. Thanks for the tips Drewpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
