Fuel not going into the carburetor
I can only get my GZ250 started if I put the fuel switch into PRI position for at least 5 seconds.
Then it runs for a couple of minutes, starts sputtering, and stops. It will not get started unless I put it into PRI again. My motorcycle has been in storage for a while, but I was able to get it started without any problems a couple of months ago. I added new fuel, the engine sounds better now, but the problem persists. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you, Gustaf Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Fuel not going into the carburetor
Welcome to the forum.Add some Sea Foam or Berrymans b12 to your fresh fuel and it should help.You should always put some in the tank before you store your bike.Also the tank should be full of fuel when storing,to prevent rust.

Re: Fuel not going into the carburetor
Good observation Alantf. You're making the rest of us look bad. Should have been the first thing to come to mind.
