Stubborn New Bike
I took the leap and bought an unloved 2001 gz250. Since I got it I've cleaned the carb, got a new air filter, and flushed the gas tank. but the stubborn thing still won't idle for more than a few seconds. Any suggestions? I'm a fairly mechanical guy, but this is my first real bike.

Make sure you have no vacuum leaks around boots.Did you adjust your idle mixture screws (pilot jets) ? ;) :)

Try setting the petcock to "PRI". It's vacuum operated otherwise.

texascam. did you get the idle issue figured out yet?

I disassembled my carb and it was a nightmare of varnish and gunk. I'm going to need a new jet kit or a new carb, whichever I can find cheaper. There's no way fuel was getting through. Anybody have a good source for a kit?

www.ronayers.com is going to have everything you need. Check out the Microfiche section.
You can get entire rebuild kits and just give the whole thing a good cleaning and you'll be good to go. :) |
If all the plastic a rubber parts are OK a good cleaning will do it
