Hi. I’m new here to the forum. I just purchased a 2006 crf 250x. It had sat for 6 years before I bought it. I did the normal things; cleaned the gas tank, changed the batter, new air filter, and I just pulled the carb and gave it a proper cleaning. The carb was in pretty bad shape but after three cans of carb cleaner and soaking all the jets it was sparkling inside. I put the bike back together and it won’t fire up. The bike is “cycling” when I press the ignition but it will not fire. I forgot to mention I changed the spark plug too. Does anyone have any suggestions or had a similar experience. Thanks guys. I’m looking forward to getting this bike off the stand and in some dirt.
My editing is off but I also did not mention the bike is in neutral, I have the clutch in, and the choke is on. I know I am getting gas to the carb because I forgot to tighten the bottom carb inspection cover and I had a small leak. I tightened the inspection cover and no more leak.
