Wilsons Sandbox

Posted: **Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:48 am**

I am not much of a mechanic. Do you mean like a grain of sand in main jet or something like that? Someone on the list a time back talked about a binding choke cable. I did not check gas mileage yet, but based on how far I traveled and gas level in tank now, it seems poor. Also, I put about 6 ounces of Seafoam in the gas tank before leaving. Everyone says this is great for cleaning things up and taking out any moisture that might be in the tank. Could it have loosened particles and sent them to the carb? Ron Moorhouse Modesto, CA

Hi! I'm a former Hershey Foods guy and worked here in Pennsylvania and been to the Oakdale chocolate and the Fresno pasta plants years back. I was part of a team that brought a 69,000 volt power line out from Modesto Irrigation District's service territory to the Oakdale plant and the town. I also have a college friend in Manteca that used to live in Ripon. AND I have a '06 KLR (green). Sounds like there is something preventing the high-speed circuit in the carb from working properly.

power. Ran just fine as long as I shifted into higher gear or when revving the engine in neutral. I rode at several elevations from 3500 ft to 7000 ft. Didn't matter. After a couple of times experiencing this, I just rode it easy the rest of day without getting rpm's up high enough to miss. Got home and have not had a chance to check anything out yet. Any thoughts???

Any thoughts??? Air filter clogged with dust. Been there, done that. The Slaw is d**n dusty this year, isn't it?

Sounds like it may be an electric fault, insufficient spark at high rev under load.... could be a short, wetness or failing CDI.... -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of E.L.
