This will seem condescending, but it's not supposed to be. Do you know how to tune a carb? Might be useful to look at a simple step by step guide and start from zero.

Like I said Tym, find someone with an ultrasonic cleaner.  If you had shit in the main jet it's likely to be in other places that you can't see, it's the only way to clean a carb properly ?

Well, the obvious advantage for some vehicles, is that an airbox increases you fording ability, some KLRs probably put that to use.

However, I think the clearest advantage of an airbox is that it makes it easier to have a better throttle response on lower rpms.

Plus those CV carbs work better with the air box installed

Stupid question but does the fuel shut off cock have a filter in it? I’m sure you’ll have checked it.

No question to me can be to stupid! Yup, just a metalic screen, almost new, i replaced it a couple years ago with one that wasnt vacuum operated. The inside of my tank looks brand new, not a spc of rust. I emptied it and gave it a good look.

Thought that you must have. That’s eliminated then. ?

Problem is this is a 6 gallon tank, for the last year or so me mum was sick and its been a full time gig taking care of her. She's only 88 and claims thats not old ffs...61 feels freaking old butt, man years are 3.7 women years...imho.

 

So to keep the tank from rusting i keep it full...i rode 28 miles last summer....i need a plastic gas tank so i dont a freaking crap about rust.

 

You;re Eka! My KLR needs this!!!!! Cool!
