2006 ST1300
Picked up a -08 GZ250 for my wife to learn to ride. Has 3K miles on it and ran rough when I bought it. Obviously with the miles was not ridden much.
Had carb off an seems jets are all clear/clean upon visual inspection. When cold bike runs great. Fires right up, very little choke needed. Once it warms up idle slowly drops and it dies. Once it dies will not start. Almost like vapor lock we used to get on an old big block farm truck we had growing up.
I let is set and cool a bit, if you hold throttle wide open it and crank it a while will sputter 3 or 4 times and finally start. Like its flooded.
As it start to die like its running out of fuel, if you crank the idle screw up enough it will run but idle super high.
Have had carb off several times this week and no real improvement. Done tearing it apart. Idle/air mixture screw have had from 1.5 to 3 turns runs the same.
New carb is $400, and dont see any knock off options. Berrymans chem dip? Rebuild kit?
Thought I would try here prior to reaching out to a local shop. Thank you in advance for your help.
