Trying to sell an 06 Suzuki LT-Z400. Bike starts and idles perfect, when I try and give it gas it falls flat on it's face, if I let off the gas immediately it will resume the perfect idle. I can get the bike to run but I have to feather the throttle until it finally runs strong. I am pretty sure that the gas has been sitting for about 9 months. Any ideas that don't have me taking it to the shop?

Thanks!

Get a can of carb cleaner and go through the carb. One of the jets is clogged.

Thanks, wonder what the dealer would charge for this? I just don't have the time to mess with it...

Thats a Real funky carb, it has a vacume diaphram in it! It might be cracked and leaking. Not that hard to replace.

The dealer will have the part. :thumbsup

9 times out of 10 it's the pilot jet. And, carb cleaner just doesn't do it all the time. I use stranded wire to clean them out. It's almost best to just buy another pilot jet..

It is your pilot jet. You will either need a new one or a can of carb rebuild cleaner to soak it in for a couple hrs. Only takes a couple minutes to pull the carb bowl off to get to the pilot jet.
