OK heres the situation
I am working on a 1990 TS650 - the ski is totally stock other than a primer kit. It will start and run on the prime then dies unless you hit the gas and get it above idle (30-40%)
at which time it runs OK or hit the primer about every 8 seconds. Also it doesnt matter how many turns out I turn the idle needle. I pulled the carb and found nothing out of the ordinary. I also removed the fuel pump - again everything looked normal. The problem persists whether it is run on reserve or normal - the fuel bowl was removed and cleaned. Also we put another known good carb on the engine with no help. Also primary and secondary compression are good. The only thing I havent checked it the reeds which I will have to partially remove the engine to get to the bottom intake nuts. Anyone out there have any ideas??? Thanks in advance.
