    You'll more than likely be replacing the pilot jet. But with some real high compressed air,you might get lucky!

    i got it cleaned but luckily i when i pulled the one outa the back up carb it was clear so shot some cleaner through it for good lucj dryed it put it in. ive been having troubles with my starter solinoid relay tho. when i first hooked up the elecric starter it just clicked so i put my spar on and it worked fine but now its just clicking again. my regulator wouldnt be messing with them would it?

    No, but a battery to dead can causes that.

    When my klt did this, i suspected the solinoid also. I went to auto zone and go the cheapest 1 they had for a car. They are pretty universal.

    Let the battery sit for about an hour, you should have over 12.4 volts still

    if it's less than 12, i'd question it.

    Honestly at this point, replace the soleniod, it's probably bad lol. could be as far as the wires going to and from the ignition switch also.

    http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...LAID=107592759 All you need is a momentary switch. Push it down, bike starts, unpush it down. good to go.

    sweet nice cheap fix eh. im thinking that it is just the battery is to low when i hooked it back up to the charger and gave it a push it cranked a few times be4 going back to clicking on my trickle charger i should have it set to 12 volt right? when i do so it will pull at least 10amps allllllllll day and never really go down to pulling none like most battery's ive had

    Jump it with your car and see how it acts.. That usualy how i have to start my klt lol

    I'm honestly thinking about making a bigger battery fit my klt, i have having to rely on my always dead batteries lol

    If they aren't charged up for a month, they can go bad just sitting there. When not using the battery long periods of time, it needs to be set up on a trickle charge(battery tender). Same goes for motorcycles, scooters, anything else requireing a wet cell battery. Car batteries are the same way, but last a lot longer before needing charges.

    on my parts trike the pervious owner did that. made a bigger battery cage behind where the air filter should be. im not sure if he had to remove the air filter box to make it work but there wasnt one on the trike when i bought them. im acually cutting his homemade cage off so i can paint the frame
