crfsrock Posted March 24, 2010 Fired my 05 yz250 up for the 1st time in a few months,it started on 3rd kick(happy about that since sometimes I had to tow start the 4 strokes after the winter).It runs crappy up to the powerband where it seems to takeoff and run okay.What should I try 1st second ect to get it to run correctly,betting its the corn gas, though I always buy the highest octane the gas station sells,they put the methanol in high test to right.

Was it stored with gas in the carb? If so the carb may be gummed up from deposits. I'd try giving the carb and jets a good cleaning. Also, is the gas in it now fresh or left over as well?

BDubb106 My Ride Posted March 27, 2010 Problems almost guarenteed to be in the carb... check it out and clean it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crider400 Posted March 27, 2010 it was probably loaded up as well. When i fired my bike up after its beed sitting for a whil, it smokes a lot and is loaded up. So let it warm up for a couple mins, then ride it and clear it out. But like stated, clean th ecarb, all jets etc. Use some fresh fuel, clean the air-filter, oil and your good to go:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
