davva Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 hi guys ive recently fitted a new piston and rings on my dtr 125 and everythink was fine let it go through 2 tanks of petrol in my garden to help bed the piston in. so today i go to do the same but it just wont tick over, the engine will start but give 1 long high rev and then dies, and iff i do manage to get it to tick over and i adjust the tick over screw or touch the throttle it dies on me, i have cleaned the carb through out and checked the ful line from tank to carb. also i noticed when i turn the pertol tap to on or res it starts to come out of the overflow pipe. am i looking at a dodgy float or even a new carb, i have not changed the plug cos i bought a new 1 about a wk ago but i will do tomorrow just incase ne suggestions on sorting this would be appreciated thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckenzie Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 could be dirt in the float bowl causing the needle to stick, i had this problem on my ke100 so it would be worth stripping the carb and giving it a good clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
