stalling at idle/cleaning air filter?? help

[Felicisimo E. Madarang]

Ordered my flat Corbin on Thursday afternoon, and it was delivered today (Saturday) around noon. Remarkable service from Fred Hink. Even got another Arrowhead decal to add to the collection. Fel in AZ.

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:
