Dies when throttle is let off

bughiker21 · 06-08-2013, 10:38 AM

Hi Guys
I have a 2001 GZ250. I had trouble starting the bike, so I cleaned the carb and flushed the gas tank. That did the trick. The bike starts right up. Now the problem. When the bike is running and I let off the throttle the bike will die. This is when the bike is cold or hot. As long as I feather the throttle the bike will stay running. When it dies it will start right back up. Yes I use the choke for cold starts. I am using 87octane gas with no additives. Let me know what is going on?
