Died when riding
« on: December 27, 2012, 04:55:00 pm »
I got my lt250r home at last, Got it started after a little work and it ran fantastic for 10 min.Took it home to pump a tire and check the water.Let my brother take it for a ride and when he drove it it started spluttering and died out.
Got it started again and i drove it maybe 200 feet and it done the same thing again!
Any ideas?

It has new gas and a new plug!
Got it started today for all of about 10 sec's and it died again.Checked the spark.Not sure if i grounded it right but it wasnt a blue spark.More of a red?

Have you cleaned the carb in it.Maybee its dirty and the fuel not their.When it died ,did it stop all at once or did it sputter  and fire then sputter again till it died out.Could be the carb broken reed or weak spark.I would clean the carb  and check the reeds.Also pull the stator cover and make sure the flywheel hasnt throwing the dial key that hold the flywheel in place.I bought a 87 250r .That died and it would try to start and run a little bit.Boy fought he blew it up and after half butt a top end job on it.Long story short the dail came out of the crankshaft and the pickup wasnt firing at Top dead  center.He could have saved his self alot of money and a bike if he would have check that. But you will  need a flywheel puller to take it off.Unless the key has came out .Atleast i was able to get mine off when this happen with out a puller.Hope this was helpful to you and if  you need any help just message me.

Fixed  --> Broken reed will flood it and make it way fat, check it.
