I have just aquired a 1987 KLR650. It was sitting for 6 years with out running and fuel in the tank. I removed the tank and emptied the fuel. Removed the carb and cleaned in with carb cleaner. I refueled it and it starts and runs, it idles great, but really Putts and boggs untill about 3500 rpm then it runs great. I did replce the throttle diaphram it hand a small tear on the outer edge but that did not help.I think I should remove and clean the carb again. unless anyone here has any ideas.. thanks

It sounds like you may have a flow restriction, take the petcock apart and clean it out. HtH, Denis

Myself I would add Seafoam and ride it to see if it clears up. Dooden A15 Green Ape
