I ask because two days ago I started up the motorcycle, after it sat for a number on months parked on the side stand. On starting it only ran (poorly) with the choke on ,and sputtered to a stop when I gave it any throttle. After some time I did get it to run and ran it around the neiborhood for about an half an hour, where it would konk out at all stops when I wasn't quick enough to take the throttle up well past it's idle position. It's apparent that the idlejet is blocked from fuel slowly going bad. After reading a lot of threads, here, I've decided that I'll try to run some kinda carb cleaner to clean out the idle jet to near normal state. After I replace the existing fuel and fuel filter, and adding the carb cleaning agent, I'll spend a day simply running up miles. And I have two choices... Either stop n go traffic, or freeways. Freeways will be easiest to do. Stop n go and I'm thinking that pulling the carbs and cleaning on the work bench, will be easyer.Is there one of the methods that increases the fuel flow thru that jet?
