Stalls when idling
 

Hi,

I have a 1994 Belgarda TT600 S which has the same engine and carb as the XT.

I have never had it running properly as it is a recent purchase.

I kick it off and it idles for approximately 30 seconds and then it cuts out and is hard to start again for the next minute or so.

I have checked and cleaned all the jets and the carb in general inc the float needle and diaphragms.
I have also adjusted the float level so it allows in more fuel.
I have reset the air mixture screw and tappets to factory settings.

I am stumped as to what is causing this. I assume it is getting starved of fuel but I am unsure what can be causing this having tried and adjusted all the above. I will be so appreciative of any advice or suggestions you can give.

Thank you.

sounds like fuel supply


remove the drain screw at the bottom of the carb bowl, open the tap and check if fuel flows out freely.



if you have a vacuum fuel tap, youll have to suck from the vacuum tube with a syringe to activate the tap.



changing the float level is a wrong move, download the manual and set it back to the recommended height.


and post a pic of your TT, love their look more than XT's.... and your bike was made just a few miles frםm where i live :)

Thank you for your help.

The bike is in bits at the moment but Ill send a pic when i try what you suggested at weekend.

Thank you.
