i have an 86 250r i was riding it this morning then i killed it...and when i went to start it back up....it started for a sec then died like it ran out of gas....then i couldnt start it...if i wait alittle bit it will start up for a split sec....so i figured it wasnt getting gas...but it is...i pulled the carb and made sure.....your feed back would be very helpful...thanx

 

Hey 62 have you checked all the elec connections? Although it sounds like a carb problem they usually don't JUST HAPPEN. Throw a new plug in it yet?

 

Put a new plug in it and see if that helps it.

 

i checked the plug...it was fine...getting good spark....ummm i dont know about anything else....

 

And you said you pulled the fuel line off and you were getting good flow to the carb?

 

ya it is getting great fuel...i just cant figure out what it is

 

check the compression
my buddies bike blew up like that
just started it ran for a second and quit
if its not fuel or electrical thats the only other thing i can think of

 

In addition to what everyone else said pull the carb off and check the reeds with your fingers or remove the intake boot+reed cage if you have gaskets.The reeds should be closed all the way and obviously be in tack.I've seen many that would run fair but have no bottom power and would not idle because of a chipped reed.Just a thought.
