Sounds like its time to clean the carbs, if thats something your unfamiliar with just do a search theres a few walk throughs- (while you have them apart, take note of the clip position on needle, main, and idle jet sizes) Dont forget the choke tube when you put it all back together. Toss in some new plugs, turn the gas back on and kick it.... It may come right to life with clean idle jets! If not you'll want to run it and read the plugs to check the jetting (search for plug chop, and or reading plugs) then start to adjust your jetting as needed.

oneill_1952 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 did you flood it maybe? mine was know for the float needle to stick open when the gas is left turned on pooring gas into the cylinders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 sounds like you need to get a new choke plunger. My buddies did this.....just swapped out his choke plunger with another one and it worked great. As for your startin.......you may need to increase the size of your pilot jets......if they are stock sized the bike will not may want to start easily...
