So I got home today after being away for a month. Before I left I filled my tank, put stabil in it, and ran around the block a few times to work it in. My biggest worry was that the battery would die...
But that power is fine, however....the darn engine will not stay running without 3/4 choke even after treating it with seafoam(never saw the white smoke coming out the exhaust though, pretty sure I was supposed to). I even tried riding it for a bit just in my neighborhood to see if I could ween it off the choke, no good, stalled at every stop sign. Its a 2009 ninja 250 with only 200 miles on it
Anyone know why my baby is breaking down so early? I checked the oil and what not too, its all good. OH YEAH, and the fuel gauge doesn't work anymore even though the tank is obviously full, what the foo.
Few more clues, the throttle is extremely sluggish, idles normal at 3/4 choke but dies at anything less, exhaust sputtering every now and then and revs increase for a split second, I'm assuming my carbs are buggered but the darn seafoam had no effect. Maybe more is needed? Only put seafoam in the fuel, anywhere else maybe?
