I was hoping that someone had a tip or trick with cleaning the carb
1982 Yamaha xs650
The bike has been sitting for 3 years and unfortunately had ethanol blend fuel in the carbs.
I have taken the carbs off, taken them apart, clean jets, needles bowls. There are wonderful YouTube videos I followed along.
HOWEVER
No fuel on idle
I have taken some starting fluid and started it up and kept it running
The starting fluid was to check if it was a carb or ignition/timing problem and it starts right up and runs just well on the starting fluid
And in upper RPMs will stay running.
however falls flat on idle
so this tells me the idle circuit in the carb is still gummed up somewhere?
This is the 3 or 4 time the carbs have been off the bike. Looking for advice on what/where/how to clean the carbs.
I did take the caps off the air/fuel mixture screws and put some carb cleaner down them. Reinstalled the screws backing them off 3 turns?
or maybe something else I should be looking at?
Thanks for the advice and help!
