Yeah had t ok go buy a tool set that would reach the screws under the carbs while on the bike.

It is running rich the plugs are fouled i would get a new set of plugs,make sure the float needle valves are not stuck and the float moves free...

new set of plugs are in, float needles and valves move free I check those when the carbs were off diaphragms looked good.

Here are the plugs, the have 5240 miles on them.

Well, looks like this is my last post for a while until the bike is fixed.

Wondering if I should do a dyno day this year. Wondering if I should take a 1 year break from it. My fear is dyno days might be not have the same interest as before.

Hmm.

Some were asking about it at the meet up yesterday.

I think I am to the point after reading that thread to just order new carbs.

This is a "learning experience".

I know, just would like it better if it were a learning experience that wasn't a month away from the group ride. At this rate if I keep on working on it it will be down the whole season lol.

Really tempted to just light it up and let it burn....

Sorry I couldn't help ya more man!

You were a ton of help Brandon,your garage kept me out of the cold today lol.

everything checked out good, then again I am no master at working on motorcycles.

And after talking with my wife she wants to wait until the end of April to put it in the shop. So if you know any locals that wouldn't rape me on fixing this issue let me know.

At this point I am just defeated and too depressed to work on it.

Well I am at a loss pulled the carbs and cleaned them still has the same issue. Guess its time to bend over and get screwed by a shop.

Down to pulling carbs now bike is apart.

If the seafoam helped some, you may have moisture in the fuel. I know you said it was fresh. Is the bike parked outside?

Another thing to look at, (long shot) but make sure there are not any foreign objects in the exhaust blocking flow creating extra back pressure. I had an issue with that thanks to my two year old...

Does the bike drive? I am also in Hilliard. Not a certified expert, but willing to help for beer. Mmmmmmmm, beeeer....

Can't get the bike to move far before it stalls out on throttle. It has been parked outside off and on after the storage unit incident. When running it yesterday exhaust did feel like there were any obstructions.

If the tank petcock is like most, it has screens on it to act as filters. I don't see a need for an additional filter. I don't even put them on my ATVs.

Actually after digging some I did find the fuel filter. It is inside the fuel inlet . It is a tiny screen inside the black plastic fuel nipple.

-_- was a joke

Why so serious?

Its because i am far away and freeway is boring also karls fault his bike was broke and couldnt ride with me hahaha:D

See how he treats the guy that improved his laptop.

Make me feel worse man, rubbing that salt deep into my wounds.

Finally found another video showing exactly what my bike is doing. I will be cleaning the carbs for sure.

Angelina Jolie with guns....mmmm

now I think another step I messed up on was not putting stabilizer innthe fuel over winter even though I did go out and start it once a week.

I guess I should have said :

Does it idle without the choke full off ?

it idles with the choke off, with choke on rpm's increase

A lot of advise here !

If it runs with the choke on,but stalls when full off !!!

You need to take the carbs out and clean them.

It's not a hard job,but time consuming.

I did my wife's and it ran perfectly after that.

The bike runs with the choke off, I can rev it up to 4.5k rpm and it stalls. I think I am going to add a gravity fed fuel filter while I am at it seeing as the 250 doesn't have one.

fucking bike
