Hi

I have a sherco 09 250cc and i have fittted a kiehen carb to it.
The kiehen has been running fine on it i love it but all of a sudden i can not get the bike to tick over properly it slowly dies asif there is no fuel.
If i put the chock on it starts to tick over normally.

I have cleaned the carb out and also adjusted the air screw and mixture screw and still no luck.

If you have any advice or an idea on how to fix the proplem it would be much appreciated

Thank you

Also make sure your not taking in extra air from anywhere and the carb is properly sealed in the rubber manifold connecting to the reed block

i had used this door seal stuff inbetween the fuel tap and the tank itself because it had to began to leak. the petrol had eaten through that and the stickey stuff on the door seal got into the carb and was blocking the fuel flow. i found some of it sat in the bottom of the float bath.

thanks for your help guys

Might see if you can fit a slightly thicker diameter US o-ring under the fuel tap, I had this issue in '06.

i had tried that but it got fuil to it and expanded. i have used gasket paper instead now it has done the trick
