    check to see if there is a fuel obstruction, take the fuel line off first and make sure fuel comes out the petcock constantly.

    if it does and you put new fuel lines and filter on

    sometimes trash can get above the float needle and clog the fuel up there, making the bowl fill slowly, hence it will ride for a few mins then die out, wait an hour and it will crank back up.. take the needle out and make sure you can get air to flow easily through the inlet.

    Had that happen to me, only found out after I put 200 dollars worth of electrical parts in the machine thinking it was electricle.

    I'll second that opinion. All in favor, say "I".

    "Can't", never could do nothing



    There's nothing like the sound of screaming 2strokes and the smell of race gas in the air

    How does your gas cap breather tube flow? My X was doing the same thing. A little compressed air fixed that problem real quick.
    Rides I own:
    '85 200X(old smokey)
    '81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
    '84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
    '96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
    '85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
    '78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

    Check your spark when it happens again. Put clear fuel line on. And also I do say "I".
    3 CR500R's and counting. Do I really need 4???
    Do I really need 9 Tigers?
    Laegers ATC500R
    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.
