[AngusJustice]

My 85 250R Runs Then Dies And Won't Restart For 10-20min It Runs For About 3-5Min. Anybody Got Any Ideas It's Been So Long Since I Rode This Thing I Miss It Bad!!!

Does it have gas?

[ATC-Eric]

Sounds like a fuel problem to me......

Do the Basic tune up -

1. Buy New Air Filter
2. Buy Few New Spark Plugs NGK - BR8ES
3. Clean or rebuild the Carb
4. Change the Oil's / top off
5. Clean the Gas Tank
6. Buy NEW REED'S ...
7. Mix a Fresh Batch of Gas & 2 Stroke oil - 40:1 with Synthetic Oil

Should be Set to ride for a while

Pull the fuel line off and turn the gas on to see if it's flowing properly. My first thought was that something is keeping the float bowl from filling up quickly like it should. Could be a clogged petcock filter, bad or gummed up needle valve in the carb.

It Could be that the coil is going bad and will produce spark until it warms up to certain temp, ounce it reaches that temp it stops producing Spark. Might want to check CDI unit also.:wondering

Make shure the vent hose off the gascap isnt pinched Ive seen that happen before. Just clean the carb. and make shure your getting spark.
