Hi all,

I'll try and describe the problem I am experiencing as accurately as
possible. The problem is with a 2000 KLR650 with approx 4500km on it. The
bike runs great at the start of a ride however at any point during the ride
the bike will just start to chug and then the engine will stall. I can keep
trying and trying to get it to restart often killing the battery. If I am
lucky enough to get it to restart its with the choke on full and revving up
the engine to keep it running. Letting off the gas will cause the engine to
stall. Also while I do manage to get it to run with full choke and lots of
revs gas is running out of the hose attached to the carburetor. If i let the
bike sit overnight then its fine the next day. When it will act up is
entirely unpredictable and my local bike shop says it can't look at the
problem until the problems occurs which is usually no where near there
location. By the time I get it to them the problem has gone away. Any
suggestions would be extremely appreciated as I can't trust the bike to take
on anything but the shortest ride around my neighbourhood.

Thanks in advance

Rob Kirkby
