DR650 carby leaking into piston
I am getting a friends DR650 going. He did a trip across Australia and back before he left he put a new carby in the bike a Mikuni T 40 6 / HS40 did the trip about a year ago he left fuel in the carby and the bike sitting there.
We could just get the bike started with throttle open but would not idle. I removed the carby cleaned it out checked the float bowl height. After putting together using 1 lt fuel tank we found fuel would fload into the piston. If I hold the 1 lt fuel tank at the same height as the float bowl the bike will run higher than the carby the bike will die. I suspect the float bowel needle that I cleaned. Any ideas or help would be great.
