What would make you think that's how I'm trying to start it?





Let me restate my problem..

LOL!!! Best laugh I had all day! Have to admit, I thought the same thing when the question was asked, but ya never know about people's skill set.

Let's all be friends

I am looking at bidding on some DR350 parts. They are the rockers and cam (new) for a 91model. Are they the same as a 99 model ones ?

In an earlier post I stated that after a long high speed run my 97 se just started running like crap below 5000 rpm's. Well guess what happens when the air/fuel mixture screw unscrews itself while you are riding.

You are correct, it suddenly starts running like crap!!!

Apparently the previous owner cleaned the carb and lost the spring, washer and O-ring that held tension against the mixture screw allowing the screw to back completely out. After robbing a replacement screw from an discarded carb and reinstalling the carb it runs great again. I found the original screw laying on top of the crankcase beside the crankcase vent tube.


So now my starting procedure is once again,
STEP 1, Turn key to on
STEP 2, Turn petcock to on
STEP 3, Push yellow button
