yfz350djt Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 I've had the same problem just as of recently as this other guy. My shee is still pretty much stock as I've had it less than a month, but all I've done is change the handle bars. It'll start on the 1st or 2nd kick on a cold engine with the choke on, but it'll burn for about 15-30 seconds than die. Could it be the same possible problems as this other guy or could it be something different because of a stock not completely broken in engine? Quote
ledofthezep Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 What are your mods? Does it idle real low? How does it act after you ride for a while? If it's just idling to low you may just be able to adjust the idle a bit. Quote
Banchetta Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 Do you shut the choke off after a few seconds and just maintain throttle on/off until its warm or just leave the choke on? The choke should only be used for starting it up, you can play the choke off/on for a minute, but don't leave it on... Quote
yfz350djt Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Posted May 3, 2004 Normally, I'll leave the choke on for a minute or two while the engine warms up. Ever since this started to happen, I havn't even had a chance to turn the choke off. After it dies, it won't start with or without the choke. And now that you mention the idle, after the engine is warm after a ride, it dies too. That's been happening ever since I bought it. But that was before this started happening. I can just adjust the idle higher for that, right? Quote

Banchetta Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 I know my keihin carbs would do like you mentioned. my idle was to low...raise the idle adjustment, it might solve your problem and not cost a dime... Quote
