engine stopped without full choke
My 2012 KLX-250S engine immediately stoped without full choke. It also stopped as soon as I opened the throttle.
The engine is fully warmed up, usually this only happen when engine is cold. The bike has been sitting for a while, about six months. Thanks, Karl |
Pull the carb and clean it out. Most likely the pilot jet has a restriction in it's little hole.
Ride on Brewster |
I don't know, Brewster...sounds more like the starter motor defribrillator solenoid to me.
OP...keep a bottle of Stabil handy if the bike is going to sit that long. Those pilot jet holes hate untreated fuel sitting in there that long. You may need to use a fine wire to clean out the orifice on the pilot jet if it's gummed up enough. Get a spray can of Chemtool B-12 to do the cleanout. Some compressed air to finish things off wouldn't hurt either. |
This the first machine I owned that has carburetor.
I will need to learn how to do the clean up.... Thanks, Karl |
Why choke stay at full open/close, not half open
Why is my 2009 KLX-250S choke only stay at full open/close, not any where in the middle?
It has been like this since new? Karl |
it's normal

It'd be a good idea to run the carb out of gas before you store the bike. Not good to leave gas sitting in the carb for too long. I usually put a bit of Seafoam in the tank in the spring with fresh gas to try and keep the feeling system clean of build-up.

I put one of these on the KLR. It will hold the enricher plunger part-open.
