Recently today, It was warming up this afternoon and I got home from work and decide to grab chance to ride my motorcycle just to run around the block in order to keep everything circulated (oil, antifreeze, battery charged, fuel) after a month of sitting in garage. The engine seem doesn't want to stay idle. I tried to adjust idle jet and it wouln't stay running. I suspect carb needed to be rebuilt because it had been used little by owner for 8 years (I suspect 1,000 miles per year). I removed the air filter and fired up. It backfired a little and still won't maintain idle so It's not the filter problem.
I am thinking about rebuilding carburetor soon. I went to Suzuki dealership part dept and they told me it cost $250 for a kit. But I found in some website called "Jet kit" for Volusia. It did not have 2 major parts that needed to be replaced.
I might try take it all apart and clean it out first.
Do anyone recommend carburetor cleaning solutions that works best on motorcycle carburetor?
