PLEASE HELP

My engine does not longer pulls strongs. When ever I trie to get full gas, it fails to do so, like if it was out of fuel, but it isn´t.
What should I check?
Many thanks in advance.

first check filter above float valve.
to do so, dismount carb, then float bowl.
remove float and float valve assembly.
if filter is stucked with dirt, clean it.
always use extra filter in between the fuel line from tank to carb.

if this wasn't the problem, please ask again.

good luck

Hi

You dont tell what kind of XT you got. If it is a XT600Z Tenere, then also check the choke-cable. It can get stuck (and so does the part on the carburetor it self) and off course then the engine will run very bad. I replaced mine with a choke placed directly on the carburetor (one of the newer XT600E) and that solved a lot of bad running.
