My XR50 run great but if you just let it idle it just dies. It has very low hours, like new. Must be something simple. What gives?

 

Try the idle adjustment screw?

 

It does not seem to make a difference. I'm still stumped.

 

I have this same problem with my new 50 it has less than 2hr. on it. I'm thinking that it's still tight and needs to loosen up before it will stay running.

 

I got the same problem with the one Shugga just gave me yesterday. My buddie has one and he said he would leave it half choke for a bit until the engine warmed up, then it was fine. I am going to go home tonite and dick around with mine.

Hey Shug!!!! What is this piece of **** you gave away. Just kidding man.

Lata

 

mine did that also when I first bought it, give it some time. It'll go away.

 

right from the dealer mine idled fine and still does.. run's perfect, especially after putting the PC pipe on - nice tan colored plug..

 

pull the carb out to the side and remove the bowl spray with somr carb cleaner then lubricate wd whatever then use some more carb or brakecleaner and reassemble it will work those mothers f's at honda just throw **** togeather and leave **** in there.

 

I took mine out last nite. Choked it for a 3 or 4 minutes. Once it warmed up, I adjusted the idle screw. Turned it up about a quarter turn. Idle problem gone and wasn't idling too high.

Everyone is gonna be different. Just gotta keep f...in' with it.
