SOURCE: Vstar 650 classic. only will idle.

hello and welcome
this is a very very commom problem after the cycle has gone over a storage period of anything over a month or so. what has happened is the deteriorated fuel has plugged the idle jet, and possibley other jetting. this is verified by pulling out the choke allows it to run. because this makes of for the loss of fuel the jets are not produceing. so to fix this you will need to remove the carbs and take out the jets and clean them thoroughly with a carb cleaner and possibly a very small gauge wire to break up builup. especially in the pilot jet. unfortunately fuel added carb cleaners dont seem to work for this kind of problem and to fix right they should be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly. thank you.

SOURCE: i have a keeway 125 bike new idle prob

Pull the carb off the bike and clean it inside and out. Be sure main jet is clear. Remove the two screws on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well. Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > > > do not tighten these two screws down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward.

Put the rest of the carb back together and install the carb. Turn the gas on to let the float bowl fill then start the engine. Chances are this will fix the problem. I suggest that you install an in-line fuel filter to prevent this happening again.

Last item> You should have just a little bit of slack in the throttle cable where it goes into the top of the carb. Not more than 1/16". Let me know how things turn out.

Please rate this solution as " FixYa " if all goes well. Thanks

How old is the gas? Did you use fuel stabilizer? If not then add fresh fuel to tank as you use it and see if this clears your probelm. Also I would add 2 ounces of sea foam to each gallon of gas to help clean out system from old fuel.

SOURCE: Lost of power on throttle increase and motor dies

I would say you have a blocked or damaged jet. I would strip down the carburettor and replace any badly worn jets and clean thoroughly. When refitting the tick over mixture screw , screw it home and back out about 2 1/2 turns. That will be somewhere near it.
Hope that helps.

Poulan1500 starts but dies when opening choke it runs with trigger all the way in after warm uo it dies when opening choke just a little

May be plugged carb but often this is high speed and low speed carb adjustment. Requires special tool to fit adjustment screw...i always take the carb off and use dremel to cut these two air mixture screws....cut a slot on the top turning them into a slotted screw, then open each one counterclockwise 1/4 turn when carb is reinstalled. Run it and make adjustments two low and high speed screws till it idles nice and throttles up smooth and quick.

My Honda 9.9 4 stroke outboard will idle ok but will not throttle up?

Hello, everyone.
The engine is generally healthy and what bugs me the most, has JUST been overhauled by a good mechanic, which included cleaning the carb, after which it started on 1-3 pulls and ran like magic.
Today I went fishing for the first time after not using the boat for about 3 weeks. The engine started fine (with 2/3 choke), I let it warm up a bit, with little-to-none choke. Idle was a tiny bit rough, but nothing major. When I set it on idle for the first time, it ran for about 3 minutes and died. Since then I could only start it with either choke or some throttle and it'd always die quite soon on idle or close to idle. When I try to start it warm with no choke, it'd sound as if it catches and dies off immediately.
The plugs are 1 month old and adjusted, oil's in order, no detectable problems with the prop or anything else.

I have a suspicion it might be either condensate or some grit in the fuel tank, which was stored in a rather damp place for 3 weeks, half full (although tightly closed). What should I check and is there a way to condition the fuel somehow to remove condensate and clean out eventual b/s from the carb without major mechanical work (I really don't want to pull the boat ashore before autumn)?

Thank you!

Just fitted a new carb to my gilera runner 50cc and now it revs really high on idle

I would check a few things. First off make sure the throttle cable is adjusted correctly. Second, try opening the throttle half way and letting go you should hear the inside parts of the carb click as they seat. Third, find the idle adjuster screw turn this anti clockwise and see if the idle speed drops down. Fourth check the choke mechanism is working properly choke/cold start forces a rich mixture to the engine and increases the idle revs.
it is worth checking the pilot air screw is adjusted correctly. Hope this helps.

I have a Tomos a35 Sprint and I put a 70cc cylinder jug on it, a techno circuit pipe and I have a new carb. I up jetted it to a #58 and it starts only when the choke is down, once I take the choke off it...

You need to adjust the idle 1st.Main jet #58 is just for wide open throttle. Start by turning air screw all the way in "gently" till it stops, and back it out 1 and a half turns. Back out idle screw until slide is closed " not touching slide" . Turn until just contacts slide plus 1 full turn in opening slide. Start it up with the choke on and turn the air screw slowly in or out and slowly move the choke off till you can get it to run with the choke off. Than adjust idle screw " the one that moves the slide up and down to set the RPM. If you cant get her to idle with the choke off and the carb is air tight on the intake manifold. Carb might be to big. If you can get her to idle but it runs ruff I will try to help you tune the carb further. Good luck.

When I start my 2003 Vstar 1100 Classic, and as i give it throttle during ideling, it dies out? Also as im driving my bike and i come to a red light and i down shift and the idle lowers, it dies out, but...

There are a few quick things to try before cleaning the carbs.

1.Clean your air filter, it may be choking out, trust me a dirty air filter will choke out a bike.
2.Check your spark plugs. If they are black and sooty, change them out. Its quick and less expensive.

I diagnosed a 2001 Roadking Fuel injected. Ran like ****, hardly any throttle response, died at idle.
the customer said he just had it serviced a month ago at the dealer.
I pulled the plugs and they were nasty. The dealer forgot to change out the sparkplugs. It Happens
I Put in a new set of spark plugs and the bike ran like new.
I've fixed a bunch of bikes in the past and this one always stuck in my mind because of the difference in performance.

Try the sparkplugs, i think its more likely to be that than the air filter.

Vstar 1100 idling rough and backfiring letting off the throttle

It sounds to me that your carbs might be a little gunked up - you mentioned the gas may have been old, so it's possible that the smaller (idle) jets are slightly plugged up. Fresh fuel might do the trick and/or you could try using a fuel system cleaner and water remover. This problem might 'solve itself' with a little time.

As far as the backfire - this might be either from the carb issue or it could be related to that rattle you mentioned - you could have a loose connection at or near the head - this can **** air and cause a backfire.

I hope this helped!
