Thanks for the info. It is a fun bike to ride. Would be allot more fun if I could get the clutch to work.

Hi I'm having a problem bleeding my clutch on my 96'jtr 370. I'm not able to push the fluid up through the master cylinder either. Where is the small hole exactly? Thanks

I would check the float level. I had a similar problem on my gas gas.

I use the goprohd ,I'm a beginner trials rider. I made a little video testing out my bike. I mounted it on my mx helmet on the mouthguard, I don't have a trials helmet. You can mount it to the side of your helmet too with the suction cup attachment.

Thanks for the help it was the float level, runs good now. I just have to get the brakes and clutch working acceptably now.

Thanks, I have been researching some of this stuff and I read that worn reeds will make an engine run richer so I don't think that is my main problem, although I will replace them anyways. I think I'm going to check out the float height and then the crank seals. Anyone know what the float height should be set at? Stuart.

I did as you advised and checked out all the gaskets seals etc. I also pulled off the reed cage and the reeds seem to be worn out too. There is a visible gap where they are supposed to be sealing. Could that have something to do with my problem? Thanks for the info.

Ok, I cleaned it out again today. Seemed to be clean with no dirt. The pilot jet didn't look clogged either. I did notice the intake boot from the carb to the cylinder looked worn out. Could a vaccum leak there cause the symptoms I'm having? Stuart.

It's the original dellorto carb on it now. I did clean out the pilot with a small piece of wire and checked it to the light. It seemed to be ok. I will try blowing the air the opposite way this time. Thanks.

That might be my problem. I didn't remove the pipe part to clean it. I just sprayed it with carb cleaner and compressed air. I'll disassemble that too tomorrow. Thanks.

No I didn't. I only took it for a quick spin around the driveway and had the same symptoms immediately so I don't think it ingested any more dirt. I guess I'll take it apart again and oil the filter this time. Thanks for the replies.

I bought this bike from my friend for cheap. He had it sitting in his garage for a few years. It seems to have good compression from what I can tell, I will check with tester soon. I took carb off and cleaned out twice. I made sure to blow out all the passages and clean filter in carb body and checked petcock on tank. Everything seems to be flowing good. I also removed jets and blew them out and cleaned with carb cleaner. Powerwashed airbox out and also cleaned air filter. It has a dellorto carb. Any help is appreciated, thanks. Stuart.
