I would recommend checking the valves it might be that one of the valves is closing. Stuff like that can happen. It doesn't hurt to check them -----Original Message----- From: Keith Saltzer [mailto:k.saltzer@...] Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 11:18 PM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_klr650] Re: stalling at idle/cleaning air filter?? HELP Is this a Califoria model KLR? If the bike was running fine, and all you did was fill it up, and now it is having the problems, I say it's the fuel. If it's a Ca KLR, you cannot fill them all the way up, or this type of problem can occur. If it's not a Ca KLR, then I would suspect something in the fuel. Get the fuel out and refuel somewhere else. Maybe pull and clean out the carb too. MrMoose A8 (Barbie and Ken special) --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "kayak_shack" wrote:
