HI JERRY
HOW IS THE FLOW DOWN FROM THE TANK OR FUEL FILTER
MAY NEED TO CHANGE FUEL FILTER OR CHANGE FUEL LINES OR TANK VALVE BECAUSE USING FULL CHOKE SUCKS THE FUEL AS HARD AS THE BIKE CAN TO GET FUEL THROUGH THE SMALL LINES LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OR DON'T FIND
Has the bike been parked for two weeks or more? If so, the fuel has most likely gummed up and plugged fuel passages and jets. Might try adding 1/2 to full can of SeaFoam to existing fuel in the tank, crank the bike and run (with choke if you have to) at a high idle for several minutes. Shut it down and let set for an hour or so allowing the SeaFoam to work. Start bike again and run at high idle again, trying to run it without the choke. If this doesn't work, then the carb probablyneeds a tear down and a manuel cleaning and reset.
First inspect all hoses and fittings on carb and intake manifolds to heads to ensure you have no vacuum leaks drawing in air...leaning out the mixture.
Has the bike sat over winter? Pretty common for stored bikes to have varnish plug up the small orifices in the carb...and they affect idle. A product like Seafoam added to fuel tank and running the bike to get the treated fuel in the carbs and letting it sit a day may start dissolving the deposits.
check your fuel strainers in your tank. you can also switch the fuel selector switch to reserve. if none of this works, then its probably your fuel pump
It may still have some water in the tank/system or the spark plug is no good.With a full tank of fuel,add 200ml of methilated spirits.It breaks up any moisture and lets it burn away.Also,with the motor out of gear,run the bike at higher revs and close the choke fully on and give full throttle at the same time.When the motor starts to die,flick the choke off.This can sometimes unclog a carby jet that may be slightly blocked because with the air choked,it gives a sudden **** off fuel.This may/maynot fix the bike but it the 1st thing to try before paying a dealer and it can't hurt anything.Hope this helps you
not running for a year! You have a varnish buildup in the low end circuit of the carb. You will need to remove the carb and do a full teardown of the carb to properly rectify this problem. SOMETIMES we are able to free up the passages by putting SEA FOAM cleaner in the tank , fill her up with fresh fuel and ride through the tank and it will clear up. SEA FOAM can be purchased at an auto parts store and is sometimes very effective. 1/4 cup to full tank fuel.
