Hello everyone,
I just bought my first 250r and two stroke for that matter. I will not be going back to the four stroke world as I am in love with this quad. Shortly after purchasing it, it has started to cut out while idling and running. I have checked the carb its clean. I have checked my reeds and they are perfect. I checked the coil and it too is fine. When I pulled my spark plug it is wet but I am guessing its because I cant keep it running long enough to burn it out. I am at a complete loss and I dont really get it. I felt like it was a fuel issue but now Im thinking its gotta be electrical. It starts right up on the second kick and its hitting good and hard. Could this be a stator issue? Im just puzzled. Im going to put a new fuel filter on it tomorrow and see if that does anything. Also when it starts to cut out if I let off the throttle slightly then give it a little it will try to come back. Keeping the choke on seems to do nothing for it. Please any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a stubborn girl that does not like bringing things to the shop for others to fix.
