rough engine after tipping over
Maybe the float bowl is stuck down and the needle wont seat? Try giving the
carb bowl some taps with the end of a screwdriver handle and it may help
free the float if that is the problem.

Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Rough engine after tipping over
Hope you guys can help me. I hurriedly parked my trusty '95 while I went to
look at something off the trail. I returned 30 seconds later to find it
tipped over; I hadn't noticed the ground was soft. I pulled it upright,
started it up and rode away. After a few seconds, it began running very
roughly. If I tried to idle it below 3,000 rom, it would start to die.
When I got to a stopping place, I shut it down and poked around, looking for
something obvious.
It would not restart.
I removed the gas line from the tank to make sure fuel was flowing as I
cranked the motor. No problems there. As I did this, fuel drained out from
the carb. When I reattached the hose, the motor started up quickly, but ran
in the same rough way.
The weather is really beautiful today; I'm anxious to get going again. Any
ideas?
Kevin
