Fatal carb flaw
This last week and a half all 4 of my runable(aka titled and together) XT's refuse to run more than a mile before the carbs freeze up. It is one of the air passages not the gas (half the time it actually 1 or 6 degrees above freezing. I can have one die, push it home or sit for fifteen minutes if the motor was warmed up and sometimes it'll start and go for 1/2mile then quit. When I get home I start up one of the others, running perfect go 1/2 to 1 mile then die. Put them back in the heated garage and fifteen to 30 minutes they'll fire right up and run till out of gas, but go outside and 1/2 mile -puke.
Tried it with all of them (stuck close to home so not far of push), everyone did the same thing. I ran all winter last year, even down to -15F, never had a freezing issue, even ran them earlier this fall at -6F. Humidity is 85% to 98% for some dang reason and I can't ride any of them even though roads are basically clear and temps are 26F to 38F until the humidity goes away. It is pissing me off ,even enclosing them with the head/cylinder with a wrap of cardboard to help warm the carbs didn't work. This is unbelievable ! I sold my other brand bike so nothing but XT's and an XL which I don't really care for, but it'll run.
