Juniper11 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Let me know if this sounds reasonable: Just started up my bikes after being tarped for the winter. Batteries were tendered, fuel was stabilized. My 2001 DRZ400 would turn over but would not fire. Gas started coming out the exaust- alot. I checked the oil and it smelled like gas and thus I'm thinking the float valve is either clogged or the float itself is stuck. Was thinking take the carb off and clean it and inspect, give it an oil change and try again. The carbs on these guys are a total PITA so I dont want to do it if it could be avoided. Any suggestions?? 3 Quote Link to comment
thatguy Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Pull the carb and clean it. It is a stuck float. Piece of cake job. 30 minutes and your done. Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 yeah, id say pull it apart it and clean it. Not sure 100% what style carb those have on them, but the needles that let fuel in sometimes get gunked up. Quote Link to comment
