hiho 5 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 your not leaveing your choke on are you the air fillter mayby fu*ked or you could be running it a bit rich and the plug is oiling up what year is it ?? i got it new in 2007. no problems with the choke but il check the air filter and i doubt its the mix as iv ran all my bikes the same "oil to fuel ratio" and had no problems the one think im dreading now is i was txting a good mate of mine 1/2 an hour ago and he said the fuel tank might have a a small hole in a that sucks air in or summit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferret_man_09 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 disconnect the carb clean the float and float bowl also check that the slide is ok and also cable. check the air filter pipe and filter for any rips or tears should solve your problem if not send me a pm i had a similar problem with mine which is also an 07 model Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cunninghamb 2 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 theres a screw on the side of the carb, unscrew it it lets more air in, tighten it, it lets less air in, try that it may help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hiho 5 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 well iv now fitted a new KN air filter( i nicked it of a mate this morning) changed the oil played with that screw on the carb for 5 minutes And guess what ....Its fixed!! well sortof only had 1/4 an hour onit but it was fine . Gona change it for a new KTM tho next month they made me a good deal last week and iv thought it through better trading in a bike thats worth something than tradeing in a bike thats worth nought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nakednutt 58 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 A good way of setting your carbs is too tighten both screws then give them 1 and 1/2 turns out then tweek from there. Also if it comes back then make sure youf fuel is clean and clean the carb like ferret man 09 said Quote Link to post Share on other sites
