Engine Stalling
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2010 8:56 pm
I suspect that there is a FAQ on the site that will help ... but i am too dumb to find it - feel free to point me in the right direction.
I have a Honda CLR 125 (same engine as XLR 125 ). It needs the choke on to start it and readily stalls at junctions unless I keep the revs up. I have increased the idle to combat this although I realize I am treating the symptoms not finding the cause and curing the problem. If I take the revs down just after starting it and allow it to stall, it is hard to restart (flooded?) and I have to wait a while and restart it; this is not a problem when it has been running for a bit. I think I will have to clean the carb. but what else should I check before I do this?
