Hi guys,
So today after more than 36 000 faultless kilometers, my trusty klr died on me. The issue is obviously fuel related: she starts on the first turn of the engine and runs smoothly for a bit, until she cuts out. Immediate attempts to restart are without success, but within a minute or so she fires up again. The bike is in daily use: I do around 20km each day.
I had a look at RobC's thread and the issue seems similar. Tried the vacuum on the petcock - it works fine, tried the seal on the petrol filler cap - no issues there...what do you think? Dirty jet in the carb?
Thanks!
