Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Right i bought a 2005 honda XR125L just to get me around. It was a non runner, i charged the battery and cleaned out the carb, the only thing ive got is it only runs with the throttle open...... Ive dismantled the carb again and the idle Jet is blocked..... ive used brake cleaner, carb cleaner, and ive used a thin piece of wire to try and push the blockage through.... has anyone got any ideas of how i can unblock it?? any help will be much appreciated.

Tango Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Compressed air........or if you can lay your hands on one an ultrasonic cleaning bath...... Or maybe just soak it in petrol or another solvent for a few days and see if that breaks down the stuff blocking the jet..... Quote
Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Oh forgot to mention i used the bodyshop next doors air blower....... that did nothing...... and ive only soaked it in carb cleaner for a few hours....... maybe ill try some TnT or something lol. Quote
Tango Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 If a high pressure airline won't shift it you've got trouble. Try soaking in Carb cleaner for a couple of days and try the airline again..... Quote
Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 ive seen carb repair kits on ebay for like 15 quid. are they any good? Quote
Tango Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I've never used one mate....so I can't say really. EastAnglianBiker is a god with Bike mechanics....so he may be able to give you some better ideas..... Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 you should be able to buy just the idle jet from any good bike shop take the old one in with you to make sure you get right size or david silvers might be able to help you Quote
