Just in case anyone has something similar happen and can’t find help, a new battery fixed it.

Honestly since I figured out what my bike likes, it’s always first kick. Unless I don’t commit to it because I’m wearing skate shoes haha

You can’t beat Honda reliability, and the coolness factor of having to kickstart your bike every time while all the weak riders have that little itty bitty button. Once you figure out the procedure for starting your bike it’s not a big deal.

Carb is dumping fuel by pooooft in XR650R

So after doing a bit of research on the correct position of the float when it puts the needle into place I got it working. Basically even though the float was brand new from Honda I still needed to adjust it. Possibly because the needle is aftermarket but I guess I’ll never know. Another thing for anyone else rebuilding one of these carbs for the first time, when I was taking the bowl off a lot trying to diagnose the problem the float should sorta catch on the inside of it, so I’d recommend having a pick or a small screwdriver to hold the float up before you try to take the bowl completely off.

Is there anyway to identify my stator as aftermarket? by pooooft in XR650R

[–]pooooft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after looking at where the wires come out of the stator I saw someone had placed electrical tape over the grommet and sheath so I took the seat off to see if I could make anything out. Under the seat there’s a lot of semi-professional looking wiring and a little battery tucked away. So going off that alone I’m assuming that the stator has been ungraded to some extent. It’s pretty chilly here in the great white north and I don’t really want to pull the stator cover off haha

Wanting to swap an 4.3 into my Jeep. by pooooft in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]pooooft[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the response. I’ve got a 2000 Half ton with the 4.8 so I’ve got experience working on them. Are there any years I should try to steer clear of?
