2009 klx 250s suddenly won't idle
Hello I'm new here. My 2009 klx 250 suddenly stoped idling. I had it for about 6 months now its my first bike. 4 months ago I put a dyno jet kit on and installed a kdx snorkel. The bike ran wonderful. A month ago during an oil change i discovered that the bike ran supper lol on oil. So I keep a bottle on the bike till I get time to figure out where it's comming from. 3 week ago the float got stuck so I cleaned the carb and adjust the A/F screw some to get rid of the jerking it did sometimes around 5-6k. Everything was good the jerking was gone also.
Now 1 week ago the bike just randomly cut off while I was riding home from work. I was going 40 mph. The bike wouldn't idle with out me turning the idle screw up. The next morning I road it to work and the same thing happened again i have to keep bliping the throttle to stop it from stalling when i slow down or stop. So when I got off I took it apart and cleaned the carb again the pilot jet and main jet looks clean to me I even removed the A/F screw and cleaned in there. And bike still won't idle. The bike barely want to get to 60 mph and I have gotten it up to 83 before.
I noticed that the revs hang so I checked for any vacuum leaks with card cleaner and couldn't find any so I turned the A/F out some more to richen the bike up. Still didn't help. Is there something I'm missing.
