try to change the gas. does it turn over or what. did you check the normal stuff like choke kill switch loose unplugged wire.

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:04:30 AM

yeah changed gas, it does turn over, seems like its not getting enough gas. could the carb be all gumed up ? we try to clean it out the best we could with some carb cleaner.

53yfz450 · October 13, 2006, 12:06:30 AM

could be. is it getting gas did you try and take off gas line to see if its not clogged. air filter clean?

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:08:23 AM

yeah filter is clean, im pretty sure that there is not a clog in the gas line itself because myu buddy told me he drained the gas from there.

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:09:55 AM

he has had it about a year now and it may at most have 10 hours on it he nevers rode it and now Im holding on to it for him because he is deploying, my wife was going to ride it because I have a 450r.

53yfz450 · October 13, 2006, 12:13:13 AM

ummm try to raise the idle. im running out of ideas.lol like i said before try looking around for some unplugged wires.

does he have a stock gas cap. many aftermarket ones with the short hose clog.

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:16:19 AM

yeah bike is totally stock, thanx for the help. is the idle the screw on the left side of the bike and runs to the right side of carb? also turn it witch way and whats the normal amount of turns out if you know? sorry if im being a PITA. thanx again

53yfz450 · October 13, 2006, 12:19:45 AM

ummmm. its been a while since ive wrenched on a rappy.lol i know its by the carb i dont know wich one. i think its a screw with a phillips head on it im not sure though. try to turn it in. thats how it is on most bikes. just turn it in a few turns then try to start it. if that doesnt work bring it back out because if it does eventually start you dont want it to rev really high.lol

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:21:41 AM

ok I will give it a try, thanx again

53yfz450 · October 13, 2006, 12:22:59 AM

no problem. if it doesnt work sorry i tried

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:25:09 AM

is there any thing that would be good to clean out the gas tank and lines and carb ? or the best thing to use maybe I will just break it all down and clean it out real good.

53yfz450 · October 13, 2006, 12:26:48 AM

yeah take the carb apart and clean it all that way. another way to see if its getting gas is look in the back of the carb and hit the gas. you should see it squirt a stream of gas.

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 12:28:22 AM

cool I will try that tomorrow. whats good to use to clean it just normal carb cleaner and like a tooth brush?

Ryan561 · October 13, 2006, 02:54:46 PM

soke the carb for 3 days and the bike will run like new

Bodydrp70 · October 13, 2006, 04:05:23 PM

well I got it go start and it is running pretty good. so we'll see what happens from here. thanx for the help
