me and a buddy are working a his 01 cr80 that hes had in the garage for a long time.
well first off, i emptyed out the old gas, put in some freshly mixed 91 octane (32to1). i took the carb out, sprayed it down to remove some sticky film on the bores and slide. poped off the fuel bowl and removed all the gunk that had built up in there. i checked the pulg for spark and it had spark. but im not sure if its fouled im not sure what they look like when they are fouled.i check the air filter and it seems to be covered with some sticky oily stuff .
once the carb was back in, pulled the choke and gave it a few kicks and it fired up, after a few revs i poped the choke down and it dies, it only start with the choke up. and only ides with the choke up. i let it idle for a few minutes with the choke on and it still dies without the choke. if i feather the throttle and ride it will run strong, wheel in the air 1st thru 3rd. i just wont idle!! whats my problem/s?
